I will move my sewing machine in front of the window, too. Same issue that it was in a cramped corner and I never felt inspired to sit at it. Thank you for that idea.
I hope it helps.
Your tomatoes look great. Maybe it would help them not dry out while your gone to visit your parents by putting a little mulch on top of each plant or maybe leave them in a tray with a little water in it. I know you were not asking for suggestions but you have nurtured them and they look like hardy little plantsI would hate for you to lose them.
beer is great for slugs
The slugs destroyed 5 of my 6 cucumber plants. I bought some copper mesh to try on my last pot. I left my last cucumber pot out of my mini green house for while. When I looked at it again a little while later, the stem was busted. So I assume that a bird had a go at it. I have a problem with birds pulling up seedlings to eat the planted seeds. Sparrows used to even go into my old greenhouse to pull them up. So I used to net the door opening.
Humans have concreted over vast lands, what do humans think birds a wildlife do to survive 😅
They eat the plants because that's their primary food source, nothing being destroyed but the planet by humans 😢
In the US we have a product called sluggo. Since your plants are in pots, you could put the sluggo around the outside of the pot on the ground. It would get rid of them before they can climb into the pot. Hope you have something like that there, it works
Is that a bird friendly product? I think they banned a lot of them here because they were too poisonous to wildlife. I don't particularly want to kill the slugs, just deter them. They are still part of the ecosystem.
I'm so sorry I did not see your response about the Sluggo product to kill snails and slugs. I looked up the product and it's active ingredient is iron phosphate and it is good for organic gardening. Yay
i have bought a pop up tent transparent greenhouse from amazon, it means I can grow my veggies outisde 'inside' for longer, less likely for slugs to get them. I had the same probem as you, keep taking my pots in at night. My runner beans are doing well, just in flower at the moment. I encourage birds to my garden to get the snails and slugs. the slugs got my peas as I took them out too early. I now grow micogreens inside and uses my peas for sprouting, i think if you can raise your beds it will be less easy for slugs
I'm willing to try all methods! I seem to remember that slugs don't like tomatoes and planting toms in amongst the other veg helps. I am going to try that this year. I'll let you know how I get on.
Your plants look good. Im not sure if this helps but I boil garlic, let cool then add some washing up liquid. pour into spray bottle, then spray the leaves of the plants. It is the only thing that helped my runner beans and kale to grow this year.
If find any discarded fruit because it's "on the turn" I will boil it up, and then make wine from it. I once made a load of wine from a full tray of soft bananas from the bins at my local market.
Various allotment gardening channels also say slugs and snails have been a big problem this year due to damp, cool conditions. I had evidence of so many in my garden that I was dreading planting anything out as I knew they would get decimated. My dwarf French beans were devoured as soon as they grew their first leaves, for instance. I decided I had to use slug pellets or my efforts would be for nought. The pellets did say they were in keeping with organic gardening, so at least that's something.
I save up eggshells, dry them out and crush. They seem to deter the slugs.
I didn't know this trick actually worked. Do you have success with it?
@@workinprogresssince1974 Yes they really do work if you put a lot around each plant. It’s definitely worth trying out.
Your hiking adventures look incredible! What a beautiful way to explore and stay active
makes me wonder how organic the organic produce is, when everything i plant gets eaten by a hundred different pests.
Pest? 😂Says a human
Organic usually isn't organic, they can use pesticide at will if needed, which they do to produce more
@@moosky7344 yes, pest, says the human. as in pest exterminator. what are you, some kind of misanthropic bugs rights activist?
the weather has been bad for tomatoes, mine are quite small ie the ones i planted
I am beginning to think summer has left us! :/
Even slugs dislike broad beans 😂
I think salt keeps slugs at bay can check online a circle of salt round pot
bad for wild birds though
@@beaulieuc8910 garlic water is supposed to work
Disaster for tea crop in shrilanka prices rising if you feed slugs on floorthey might leave you're crop alone?
what's happened to tea plantations?
@@NettiieB bad weather
Allotment?just a thought
I've been on the list for over 7 years. They are in high demand and short supply here.
