There's been a bit of a change in fortunes for the veg on the allotment this month. The broccoli, it turns out, was been eaten by pigeons and not by slugs at all. A bit of netting on some canes and its recovered really well.


The courgettes unfortunately haven't been so lucky. This is definitely slugs and i think the main problem has been that I planted them out too early and in a week of heavy rain. I'm hoping a couple will recover and I've seen they sell butternut squash seedlings at B&Q so hopefully will have something to fill any gaps.

Parsley is surviving. little coya pots worked well for this as it has done for the fennel below which is romping away.
