My friends & neighbours run for cover now when they see me coming laden down with cucumbers & tomatoes - but my courgettes failed miserably.
I have never grown chillies before, so I had no idea what to expect when I raised three long type plants & three bird's eye.
Does anyone have the number for Covent Garden?

Have you considered Slug management Moonbells. perhaps encourage more wildlife onto your plot?

Slug management? I need about a million frogs right now. Already have pools of water, old wood piles and bird boxes in the apples. The other night going back after sunset, there was a 2" slug on the access road every 6" or so. Chris and I couldn't believe it. They were *everywhere*. Population explosion. But since it's an allotments, what I do is only part of the solution. What the neighbours do is probably more important as not all of them are organic.
