Firstly, obviously, your puppy is SO adorable! Thank you for the new video. I've also had a huge problem with slugs this year. Not found any pet/wildlife friendly solutions, but am saving prickly branches pruned off the berries and roses to place around the raised bed next year as a barrier. Maybe it will work? Hmm. I've got lots of stuff huddling in the greenhouse, including a lemon tree and a tray of sweet peas. My grandparents lived on the Sussex coast and I never knew we had Italian wall lizards in this country! I saw them in Italy, they're very cute, but maybe not so much if they're guzzling your crops. Fingers crossed the pests leave us alone next year!!
Ah thank you Antonia. Darn slugs - yes I don't like to use pellets either but I am wondering about nematodes next year - ever used them? Let me know how you get on with the prickly branches. Great re-use idea! I think the snails are right in the soil now here as I've seen eggs. Yuk. Oh I'd love a lemon plant. That must be really cheery. The wall lizards aren't usual in Sussex either- we live on a little coastal spit and the story goes that a family let their pet lizards out sometime in the 80's and they colonized this little spit we live on. I honestly adore them and don't mind sharing my carrots with them really. Between them and the puppy, they never stood a chance :) Hope you are safe and well in this stormy weather and thanks so much for stopping by
@@CookingandCalm The lemon tree makes the greenhouse smell lovely when it's in flower! And even when I pruned it a bit recently it smelled lemony! I'm glad the lizards managed to thrive, they are very sweet. I've not tried nematodes - just because I'm a bit squeamish about how they work. I don't want to kill anything, I just need to repel them - hence the attempts at a prickly fence! All well here, thank you. Our garden is surrounded by a 20 foot hedge which is a very good wind barrier, as well as basically being an apartment complex for birds.
