Yesterday I put out the 3 courgettes I had brought as small plants and one of the courgette seedlings I had sown. I also put in a pot the outdoor cucumber.
I used green slug collars round them all. I always worry that I have trapped a slug inside so it was a relief this morning when I found them all safe.
I also put the tomatoes out, including one tumbler.
Out of 12 beans sown, only two have grown. Did I soak them too long, or is it the coir plugs I put them in? I've started off another 10 in ordinary compost. I have love in the mist (usually rampant, but hardly any this year) and the only two californian poppy plants in the garden the bean bed. I think I will try gathering them up and tying the to stakes so I can keep the foliage from providing a route for slugs and snails over the slug collars.
