Planted Pak Choi out on Monday. It had bolted by today! The plants are still tiny... No idea why ... perhaps too cold? I've got got another type, so maybe they will be better.
OK. Big Confession.
I've gone over to the dark side. I've put slug pellets down. Up until now I've been completely organic but... the slugs pretty much cleared the plot a couple of weeks ago. Beans, chard, purple sprouting, cabbage, all completely decimated. It was either give up and kill the slugs. I tried a organic barrier solution, and it was a complete failure. Beer traps the same.
So... a few pellets later, and the cabbages (the only thing vaguely allow apart from the Squashes) came back to life, and everything I've planted since has been fine.
So, they really do seem to work. But at what cost? Not sure, but at least it's fun again as I can see things growing.
Oh, one other thing. I'm getting really small courgettes. Not sure if it's just because the plants are young.
