Having started the website back in January, really just as a record of my green fingered goings on and to help other people learn from my mistakes, its been nice to see the traffic increasing and more people finding me, but now I have just had my first overseas viewers on the site - so a big warm welcome if you're reading this from the 'States! Thanks so much, its made my week! Thanks to all of you who come and have a gander I appreciate it! Happy growing xxx
Gardening War on Terrorism
Haven't updated for nearly a month now, for that I do apologise! I am however slightly pre-occupied. Usual for this time of year, all the county shows and whole-salers are bedazzling us with their wares and this is the prime part of the growing season. Sadly it is not a time of greeny growing goodness for me. We have torrential rain now for nearly a week and me in my ignorant bliss have felt wonderful for knowing my plants are getting a thorough watering, this has not been good. There is a, um... persistent slug problem with my garden and I have been keeping on top of it for ages, yep this means hand picking with my slug bucket and also sowing salt constantly, through the rain though the renegade army has tripled force and have eaten EVERYTHING! I honestly wish I was grossly exagerrating just to give you all a laugh, but Im really REALLY not! The only plants left are my strawberrys and also my stinging nettles - no suprises there. These squidgy comrades have even managed to get into my green house and demolish my plants in there and also eaten my bags of bulbs. I have half a runner bean plant left and half a pea plant, Im now contemplating trying to graft the two together to make a Pean plant! My spuds are in tatters, my passifloras are stripped and look like twigs in a pot, my new herb basket is in bits - which was a gift from the Master Composter herself, everything has been munched. Today on my day off I am now about to purchase some heavy duty shelving, sand-paper and copper stripping and I am going to be dutifully DIYing for the next six hours or so, the only problem being that I have no plants left to do it for! There is definitely a lesson to be learnt somewhere in all this mess but Im damned if I know what it is. So good luck to all you greeny growers out there, and I'll keep you posted on my miserable situation, and I hope your enjoying the season of veritable goodness a lot more than I am.
