Squidgy like a slug.

I hadn't crossed my mind that it could be a slug problem.
The allotment I'm using had been unused for years so maybe there were
more problems with slugs than usual. I did grow some earlies and they
weren't nearly as badly effected. I thought it was because they were a
different variety.

Some could be more prone to the problem than others, I wouldn't know. I'd
suggest you do a little internet research on the use of Nematodes which
are
very effective. But the treatment must be kept up.

But it can become expensive.
