Cup Of Coffee?

We have had some strange weather so far this year. A little while ago we had a brief warm period. Like many others I was fooled into believing that this was the end of winter and natures final push into spring. In my naivety I planted out some seeds, radish and rainbow chard. I was hopeful, but those hopes were dashed by a further cold snap accompanied with lots of snow.

So with a heavy heart I was back on the plot today sowing some more radish and chard. To  my surprise and delight the seeds I had planted some five or six weeks ago had germinated. They had obviously hunkered down and waited out the cold spell and fought back.

Now I have some young seedlings to protect. All prime targets for a slug attack. So out with the organic slug pellets as my first level of defense. Next was the ring of coffee. Ever since the summer season ended last year I have kept all the remains of the coffee granules that have been used for those hot cups of coffees on cold winter mornings, and we did drink a lot of coffee. A nice wall of coffee now adds that all important extra layer of security.

And I won't stop there. The nematodes will be out in full force very soon....

It will be a bad day to be a slug.....

    I have an allotment and love growing my own food, admittedly with varying degrees of success. One of the biggest problems I face is the slug. This somewhat light hearted blog will chronicle my war against this insidious pest.
