However it appears I may lose most of my potato crop this year to my own stupidity rather than slug damage. Having bought seed potatoes several months ago I kept them in a plastic bag. Looking to plant some out this weekend I was dismayed to see most of them had rotted. Lesson learnt.
Easter Weekend at the allotment. Its been wet but I have only seen a few of the enemy. Those that were seen were quickly dispatched with an almost unperceivable squish.

Weebly has been very useful, fairly straightforward and their support team have always been prompt in their responses to any help I have required.
