So how do places like West Dean have kitchen gardens that look so immaculate...with not a slug or snail eaten vegetable in sight?!?!
So far this year M & I have grown 5 edible radishes and a selection of herbs. The apples are doing OK, but the tomatoes and beans are looking small and the rest of the garden has been eaten by our slimey enemies. Grampy was visiting this week and put it down to the bad soil, so I'm going to try and feed them more, and see if that helps. Next year he'll be here to help, and maybe we'll be feeding the street with our produce.
But the good news is that we are having success in the house, and from a suprising source. McDonalds are currently giving out cress kits in their kids meals. Within 2 days we have leaves emerging and I'm seriously wondering whether we should try just covering our garden in cress...maybe my seed choice was the issue? Should I be finding richness in cress?
