I turned the TV on just in tine to catch Monty (standing behind some

Missed the whole thing - got sidetracked with the dvd of Marie
Antoinette. Fantastic.

My nettle potion is almost ready - another week (3 weeks). I've used
this for years. I do a gallon in the spring when the nettle is green
and young and it last me till July. After that I don't need to spray
anymore. I use it on everything. This is for home. At the lotty I do a
comfrey one. Never heard of slugs/snails not liking garlic ....?!
