Just been out to check the gazebo and repeg bits of it in the high
wind.
Noticed that 5 of the 8 Burpless Tasty Green outdoor cucumbers growing
on in
pots have had their tops eaten off.
Not that they were doing much anyway in this cold wet weather but they
were
at least germinated and growing slowly.
The shops will no doubt have ended their planned season of supplying
vegetable plants because normally everything would be out and growing
well
by this time.
Not looking a good year for vegetables on the allotment (apart from
onion
sets and garlic).
Grump.

Here (South Wales), still loads of choice of veg stuff on sale in the
garden centres though the DIY places and nurseries seem to have sold
out.
I've had *potato* tops chewed off. I thought they were indestructible!
Any idea what's doing it? Slugs or woodpigeons?
Probably God paying you back for using gardanbanter instead of using the
newsgroup.
