    Thanks for this Robin – I will take note for next year.
    It does help to know it’s not just me – hope my customers understand that. K

    Yes basil and parsley are great!
    Thought I would plant some small lettuces – which are ready to go out – into the polytunnel. Just have to make some room… This biblical rain is PANTS. K

    Ok – will wait and see with fleecing tomatoes…
    I have no heat in greenhouse so basil in still small. I hope it will survive.
    Can I ask you again about whether or not to feed tomatoes in buckets in greenhouse?

    Thanks Charles. I mean young plants – I haven’t noticed more slugs or large maggots. This rain looks set in for rest of week. I think it may be mildew on young plants is that possible? K

    Thanks Ros – that makes good sense. I wonder what part of the country you are in but I think I will do the same. K

    Ok! Thanks!
    Maybe I am trying too hard and should just throw it around?!
    I will try crushing too.
    Will let you know. K

    Hi Afric,
    I started a no dig salad growing patch last August. Having mulched with black silage plastic I simply covered the area with cow manure and then some compost. The edges gently slope away – I have no wooden edges. This saves a large amount of money and I have very few slugs – almost no slug damage to newly planted out seedlings. Good luck with your garden.

    Thanks guys,
    love the idea of a 5 star hotel for rabbits and badgers at Charles’s…! Fleece blankets and all. K

    Hi Louise,
    Apparently under a hose pipe ban we are allowed to use a pipe with holes in it on a timer (Gardener’s question time….) What exactly this entails I’m not quite sure – perhaps someone else was listening more attentively. K

    I got Freckles seed form Sarah Raven Seed and More Veg. Both have germinated well – you get more seed form Sarah Raven but it’s more expensive. Both available on line. K
