I've rushed over to the Plot.
Why??
Because IT"S RAINING - like mad. It started at teatime yesterday with THUNDER and LIGHTENING right over head, and has barely let up since.
Today, wrapped up in my cagoule, I needed to check on last nights slug activity and make sure my defences are working.
The copper bands on the legs of the tables seem to be working, as do the ISLANDS of SEED TRAYS I've placed on bricks in my deeps boxes of water.
Mind you, I've hardly seen any slugs yet this year as it's early yet and has been so hot and dry. Today I picked off one HUMBUG SNAIL from my table of seedlings. It may have been dozing on the underside of one of the trays when I pressed it into service. It's now in a derelict garden where it can have an all you can eat diet without anyone being upset by it.
If you're having rain, check for slugs.
And please - DON'T USE SLUG PELLETS!
