I am back after a week or so and all the celery that I planted out is gone, all but one (ONE) seedling – no remains whatsoever so it was slugs, the mean slimy creatures – regret saying that their activity was less than usual… I have also lost all my tomatillos in the greenhouse to some or other hungry invertebrate, but all the rest was fine – thanks mainly to Carol who offered to keep an eye on them.
Outside, the growth was generally lush – including the weeds – with gooseberries and currants well under development; strawberries, blueberries and broad beans in flower, my first ever radishes ready and I also got the first vestiges of mushrooms!!!
A major sowing session is required to catch up now.
By the way, I renew my offer for borage seedlings and raspberry shoots if anyone is interested. I also have some periwinkle Vinca major, mint, hazels, a little maple, St John’s wort, rosemary and tiny beech all grown from seed or cuttings and all looking for a welcoming home.
