... and Wednesday

Livingston Daisy potted on. There are a few small ones and this one. I don't think more will appear now. 

The Snapdragons were very overcrowded and not doing great. The 12 bigger ones are in little pots now and the rest have more room in other pots. They look better today (Thursday).

Marigolds popping up. 

I potted on a few more Flossflowers after this. 

Wildflower Butterfly mix getting big here, I'm waiting until they are a lot bigger before planting out as the last ones just vanished overnight, but they may need potting on first.

Lobelia which were potted on later. The small ones are still in the tray.

I didn't expect anything from this old seed mix, but couple of things appeared in one tray.

The Irish Seed Savers seeds are almost all coming on well now.

More slug damage on a Sunflower.

Clearing and weeding to battle hiring slugs. 


This pot full of weeds and grass came out of greenhouse. Lots more to do, but it got too dark (around 10.20pm)

I invested in a roll of copper tape to stop slugs, it only did 8 pots though. I also got wool-based barrier pellets that are chemical free and safe, but it was too dark and wet to put them out, so I just did one plant that slugs seem to love. I'll see if it works. I went around the garden several times with a torch again and removed any I found, but each time I went back more had appeared. The Sweet Pea is most at risk as barriers can't really be used and there's long grass the other side of the fence which they use as ladders.
