Slugs & snails beware/Shelves/asparagus




I have a dastardly device to defeat the slugs and snails trying to eat our salads, vegetables etc in the tunnel. Using the spare pack of decorative stone from the shed, a barrier has been created which stops them using their slime to enter the tunnel (yuk). With a few organic slug pellets to kill any waifs & strays already inside the tunnel, we can look forward to a summer of uneaten fare!


As you can see from the photo, I have put some greenhouse staging into the tunnel, so if anyone is looking for space for their seedlings?


Finally the asparagus is just starting to peep through, looking somewhat larger than last year. Maybe Jonathan can issue some guidelines on whether we harvest any this year?
