Sowed this a few weeks ago and it's doing really well - a dwarf pak choi from Dobies Mai Quing. Stir fried it whole

mmm ... that looks tasty

picked a lovely greeny red chilli today so that went in with lots of my garlic. The kale was only baby but the stalks felt hard but they were lovely and tender once stir fried

Yuuuuuuuum

Would it be considered bad manners to drool in veg?

Lovely, Watson!!

Do you use sesame oil ?

you could do but I used ordinary veg oil cos poor

SLUGS HAVE EATEN MY WHOLE ROW OF PAK CHOI.
AND ONE OF RAPINI.
AND ONE OF MIZUNA.

(and every single one of the lovely cabbages Wardy gave me )

Tara you have to take steps The ones on my raised bed are un-nibbled. The ones on the ground have been decimated. I deduce from this that slugs are deterred by heights

Disclaimer: this is not a scientifically proven fact

....dare I add........

and a seed tray filled wiv baby cauli plants that WAS ON A TABLE!


and........HT made BANANA CHUTNEY!!!!!

I know He's a good cook though so who are we to cast wotsits He's been to exotic climes yer know

see?
now I'm gonna have to cadge the recipe and try it

I'm also doing pickled green tomatoes for the first time this year.
And dandelion wine.

No-one's gonna want to come to mine this xmas cos that's when I force feed em all me 'weird & wonderfuls'

I made an addittion to me raised bed watson...............2 bands of copper
cable single strand 1 at top of wood other at middle...........not one slug
or snail has ventured past they get a reaction to the copper like

have you tried them on Piriton?

@pak choi, just like in them picture books - gotta try those, thanks wardy

My niece took some for her tea so where the gaps were I sowed some more. They look really good on the raised bed

Right then Jags! Copper wire? Don't tell me I have to strip some leccy cable or is it available from the shops

AHA!!!

wasn't slugs on the table....it was woodlice
(I set boudi on 'em )

they are def causing more damage than usual this year......keep finding them in me tomatoes anorl

I stripped Watson

I thought you might have done. I aint gonna start nicking and stripping cable cos it's not a pastime commensurate with a genteel old lady like wot hi ham. Anyway my paks aint got slugs. They're perfick

you can use them copper pan scrubbers too.

oh right

I'm not hungry but my mouth is watering..what a great lokoing dish and veg Wardy. Very impressed I am!

Is there only me does pak choi I got another load of those baby pak choi ready for eating and I reckon I could get another crop from a sowing about now. So far no slugs (famous last words)

Nice one Wardy, they look yum!

mine all got grazed off by slimeys....again

gonna try one last time then give up on them
