We are trying out beer traps soon and at the minute the ground is just covered with little blue pellets which I know is wrong, unless Andrew did actually get the organic ones I asked for, ummmmm, must ask about that! Grrr slugs are the ENEMY!<br /><br />Kath - hello way over there *waves* oh, it does help having a good moan I feel. To know that people across the world are feeling the seem is somehow comforting. Sorry you're in the same boat! but thank you for sharing xxxx<br /><br />Martin and Amy - It is so worth all the pain and heartache when you get to eat and share your gorgeous produce. Oh and the joy of it plucked ripe from the plant and popped into your mouth - ohhh you can not buy that feeling! xxCarriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475182740888543862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-80796831957133348062012-06-29T12:07:18.515+01:002012-06-29T12:07:18.515+01:00Gooseberry thinnings look tasty and the allotment ...Gooseberry thinnings look tasty and the allotment scene is really nice!<br /><br />I know what you mean about 'shall we give up'. Some times the task of owning an allotment can be arduous, but I do feel the positives way outstrip the negatives. Trying to get Amy in to it has been difficult, showing her all the effort she has to make to get something she could buy in the shops so cheaply. But now that we are harvesting things she can see the benefit too.<br /><br />Keep going, look forward to reading many more of your allotment based posts!!<br /><br />Martin :0)Martin and Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16156539747964207702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-64280020108148672842012-06-29T07:11:15.052+01:002012-06-29T07:11:15.052+01:00We're separated by an ocean and most of the US...We're separated by an ocean and most of the US, but we're having the same weather.
