Thanks for this update. It’s reassuring to know that even experts lose a whole lot of seedlings to slugs! I’ve been relying on my mum’s excess sowing of tomatoes and cucumber - we picked the first cucumber this weekend (from a plant that had been indoors but I brought outside to a sheltered wall a week ago). Ive put some salad outside in a cold frame, and now plotting how to net my strawberries to try and prevent the squirrels eating the whole crop - as they did last year.
Cabbages and broccoli -last time for these.......never had any success. If they don't work this year I will give up! Golden beetroot and red beetroot, rainbow chard(first time), French climbing beans, Amaze lettuce and lots of leeks. They are all in an unheated greenhouse and will all be hardened off w/c 26/05 and then planted out (fingers crossed)
Love the hen! And you have the Freckles variety growing among your lettuces - we have those also :-)

Great 👍 I’m not far from you . In fact moved up a year later then found your site ! I also love the post office cakes …. The post office in general 😊
Sylvagrow : can you find it locally ?
