I am afraid that we are back in the garden today as I have done nothing exciting.
The border however remains quite colourful as we nearly reach the end of August'
My first try with growing Tomatoes is showing quite a heavy crop. Slow however to ripen however. Only one in this picture as you can see.
However it is back to intermitent showers. At least I do not have to water the pots.
Earlier this year I planted bedding Dahlias at Rhona and Jon's. The next time I was round they were all reduced to skeleton leafs. Jon claimed that something just ate then overnight, and it came out of the ground. I said pull the other one. However yesterday I saw that one I had planted in a pot was not looking well. I sprinkled slug pellets yesterday and.
This morning on my rounds this was what I saw. Lots of slug yuck and dying bodies. AND THEY HAD COME OUt OF THE POT SOIL. Not a pretty sight before breakfast. Sorry folk!Sorry Jon.Perhaps they were in last years compost and it had not heated enough to kill the eggs.

Hi Dad, Ugh! That picture of the slugs is very good but they do look awful. I have had that problem before as well. Now I know what to do. We had an infestation of snails here a few months ago. They were everywhere and just kept multiplying. However, they just disappeared and have not been back since. Hope they stay away! LOL Norma xxxxxxxx
