Pablo makes excellent slimey bar steward food, the Granpa doesn't germinate and the Florreleshcholenshffenshietzenstoffenheilhitlerenlettucen fed the slimeys but the second and third sowings are developing nicely so I will let you know.

Don't blame to seed - blame the weather. Well, not exactly, the Grandpa is obvioulsy dud but the others are down to the conditions. Will try the pable (the best germinator) again this weekend.

Oak leaf lettuce has done really well in our nottment. The little gem got slimed in favour so it is probly worth planting it as a sacrificial crop.

I had some of those but I think the frogs ate them.

The thrushes loves my plot though and can be reguarly witnessed hammering away to his hearts content safe in the knowledge that my molluscs are well fed on chemical free veggies Very Happy
