0 2008-08-29T09:17:01+01:00 false Today is one of storms that didn't happen. Big dark clouds built up and promised rain, much needed rain, and what fell- not enough to make a snail damp. Anyway still planted out tomatoes [Grosse lisse]and some "mini" cauliflower. Both in the back east garden. Soil here is all sand and only slowly can I get organic stuff incorporated but there is enough of that there now to support a voracious 'herd'of slaters. For the first time I have known they seem to be eating young seedlings but, they hate clear sand so a little of that spread around each seedling keeps it safe. Beats the heck out of poisons. 0 false 28319 false false false Entry 4100 User 2008-08-29T01:00:00+01:00 DMY Public 2008-08-29T09:17:01+01:00 4100 Storms 18 C
