Two Days without lifting a spade

which is great but I feel the need to get out there tomorrow and start on the final countdown to garden opening day. After visiting The Salutation gardens in Sandwich on Tuesday I searched online for their seemingly amazing slug repellent wool pellets and ordered a 20 ltr bag which arrived this afternoon so I'm hoping that the speed of the delivery will be matched by the effectiveness of the product. If the perfect little lettuces at The Salutation are anything to go by it should be money well spent and now that I have that, and the beer traps, I'm thinking this will be the weekend to plant out all the seedling veg crops currently taking up bench space in the greenhouses.

The tomatoes that I planted in their ring pots about three weeks ago are growing very well, and there are even a few little flowers to herald the first fruits. Plus we have one, burgundy coloured, big dahlia in bloom in the back border. So much for everything being late this year.
