Queen's Jubilee

La's Red, White & Blue tribute to Her Majesty.

Snail Attack

Although the netting has kept off the birds, some of the more tasty plants have been chomped by the snails. As an experiment I have placed copper squares around a couple to see if that will deter them.

Slowworms

The compost bins are home to quite a few slowworms who have found it nice and warm under the carpet on top. They have been mating recently and some males have been fighting each other, biting and wrestling to the death!

Close Up


Most of the seedlings are doing well. The little rain we have had recently seems to have helped.

Rocket Garden Seedlings Planted

Thank you Ballantines, the vegetables have arrived in their cardboard box.
