Yep, I'm still waiting :-[ - ages since the order went in ... :'( bed all ready and empty, slugs waiting with bibs on ... ::)

Me too....I got an email last week saying they would be posted "in the next two weeks"

I think they've been heavily over-ordered ;D

Cool, was just starting to fret.

How do you keep slugs off Supersprout? I've lost all of the Brassicas I tried to sow this year, tried bran and beer traps so far and put some nemaslug down about a fortnight ago, hopefully that will make a dent in the poulation although I did find a very fat and contented looking sloworm the other day which is promising! ;D ;D

Me to still waiting for my onion sets but got my spinach ordered at the same time.

supersprout · « **Reply #11 on:** September 13, 2005, 19:16:58 »

I only took the plot on in May, and ... er, there don't seem to be slugs on it. ??? ??? My neighbours all have them, and I imported a few from the back garden in seed trays, but they all expired of loneliness :'(
I do have flea beetle, they are probably moistening their choppers as we speak ;D

No brassicas, no e-mail from Dobies either.
I did get a card through the door today from the postman about a parcel, so who knows - although I suspect that'll be the hop plant I ordered from ebay.

supersprout · « **Reply #13 on:** September 14, 2005, 08:35:03 »

Hey wardy, how do you propagate tumbleweed? ;) ;D ;D
I'd like something to do in my spare time until the cabbages and onions arrive ...

Still waiting in this part of Essex................... :'(

daveandtara · « **Reply #15 on:** September 15, 2005, 14:23:35 »

GOT 'EM! ;D
arrived today, have to say they look a bit sad and rather leggy (not that i know what they're s'posed to look like) and was surprised that they were just left on the step in plain view, esp on this estate!

one more thing, the instructions say the ground should be 'well worked'. isn't that the opposite of what everyone here has advised (ie, well trodden, unworked soil)

confused now ???

Mubgrub · « **Reply #16 on:** September 15, 2005, 14:50:26 »

Got mine too! Yay ;D ;D Perhaps they just mean well worked in terms of no big scary weeds? I'm going down to plant with Joy Larcombe in hand as always and not worry about it.
Lets hope the Nemaslug worked :P

moonbells · « **Reply #17 on:** September 15, 2005, 16:02:08 »

Got mine too! Hubby phoned this morning and said I'd a box of green things... and he thoughtfully checked they were all ok - blimey.

They *would* arrive on the day it absolutely *POURS*

Dobies must have had a mass posting day cos I received mine to!!

Mine look okay, but can't plant them today thanks to this glorious rain.....but if it holds off through the night, plan to go after the school run in the morning and get them in. NOw, I need more pigeon proof netting!

suzylou · « **Reply #19 on:** September 15, 2005, 16:56:17 »

Oh no, that must be what the card from the post office is about :( And every parcel I've had in the last SIX YEARS has either been left on the doorstep or with next door.

I won't get them till monday night when I get back from Manchester...will they survive that long in their box? :(
