Default Veg in containers

Carrots are OK. Radishes don't get slugged, but don't seem to do well

may have problems with caterpillars).


My carrots got munched by slugs and snails, straight across every single
row of them last year. This year everything was nemaslugged before I
put out, and we have done so much better. Last year was a total disaster.
:-(

Radishes don't seem to get slugged, but they do get that beetley thing
that munches through the leaves and leaves them looking very ... filagree.
