More Seed Planting

The slugs have been busy eating their way through the seeds I planted last month. The spring onions and carrots are germinating reasonably well. However only a few of the radish seedlings have survived. I also had a tray of lettuce seedlings in my outdoor cloche that had germinated nicely when I looked at them early last week. Now the slugs have eaten every last bit of green foliage. I invested in some slug pellets over the weekend to bring the battle to the next level.

I planted a few more rows of seeds today including

• First of this year's peas.
• Mangetout. Haven't grown these before and am interested to see how they turn out.
• Sowed a dense row of cabbage seeds for later transplanting.
• More radish, carrots, and spinach.
• Planted a new tray of lettuce seeds in the outdoor cloche.
