The beans have now been transplanted into individual pots and after making sure they survived, moved to live outside.
We are still seeing a great germination rate - the courgette seedlings are just about to ping up straight and more herbs are coming through, it is just parsley that we are waiting for now. We also finally have some seedlings growing in the soil bed outside so there are some sunflowers and mange-tout hopefully growing steadily now.
Another set of carrot and lettuce seedlings have been sown in a 'bag for life' and a pot respectively outside in order to continue our existing supply and some more mange-tout and sweetcorn have been started off inside in case the outdoor seeds don't do too well.
Due to the poll results we have ordered a potato set which includes reusable growing bags and four different varieties of potato sets.

Any slug and snail problems yet? Watch out for them,they sneak in and decimate everything! Slug pellets are a dilemma, but I have used them and then try and do a corpse clean up everyday to prevent poisoning anything! Of course you can just collect up the live ones and bin them, which means you get a bin full of slugs!
ReplyDeleteNo sign of any yet but I think there is the odd snail about. Only the cauliflowers have had the odd bite out of them but they are established enough to cope. Fran has quite an aversion to slugs so we're hoping they don't find us or read this blog!
ReplyDeletePutting a copper band around your pots and tubs is meant to discourage wandering slugs
