    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
