Runner beans, potatoes, peas, beetroot and parsnips are all well. Courgettes and cucumbers going well in the greenhouse soon to be planted out.
Not sure how effective it is going to be but my father in law is busy scattering egg shells around his tomatoes to keep the slugs away.

I occasionally shoot them with my SMK for a bit of light reliefJust consulted 'the gardener' in the house, she says beer traps work for slugs but not snails, we did egg shells in the past and she thinks they worked but at the allotment she used pellets. Any snails found, I have free range to dispatch, despite her being a goddamn veggie hippy.

Smk is my cheap little. 22 rifle firing at 8.5 and perfect for slugs......and pigeonsNo idea what a SMK is, I tend to just squish them with a size 11, seems to do the trick.
