The potting shed/greenhouse is starting to come to life. Sugar Sanp peas, runner beans, cucumbers, courgettes and sweet peas are all through and looking healthy. It isn't all 100% success as there were a number of pea seeds that just rotted and the French climbing beans (sultana) haven't shown any signs of growth. Where there are no shows I'm sowing seeds again.

The very cheap (or should I say inexpensive) bedding plants I bought from Lidl have been attacked by slugs so, unlike Jane, I've abandoned the niceties of organic gardening and spread slug pellets around the plants. That should sort out the ugly, voracious slugs. No chance of the hedgehog getting to the pellets because they're on the raised bed.
