Strawberries Being Eaten

As with lots of fruits and veg that I’ve never grown before I’m learning as I’m going along!

Something is eating my strawberries - is it the birds?? My planted last late autumn plants aren’t currently producing that many fruits so it’s a bit disappointing to see a few being munched. I must get some straw pretty soon too.

Apologies for the lack of blog posts in the last month - I’ve just not had the time to blog here alongside all the other internet work I do (I am hoping to get some gardening merchants on our discount codes site in the near future). But I’ve been doing a bit down on the plot …sweetcorn plants have been planted out along with the courgettes (do I need to feed them with anything?). Tomato plants (sweet marillion) have been planted out in the greenhouse border and I’ve got another load to plant outside (and give away ‘cos I’ve got too many).

Weeds… I swear they grow quicker after they’ve been dug up. I weeded around the onions one day - two days later they’re back. I’ve been working on the front end of the plot when time permits, marking out bed areas and putting old carpet down inbetween with bark plonked on top (oh it’s all very technical). Those horse tails (mares tails) are most certainly the Devil’s work (with roots 6.5 feet long apparently)

    Unfortunately, if your garden is like mine, it’s slugs.
