Growing in Greenhouses & Polytunnels / Re: Found a Toad in the greenhouse
« Last post by New shoot on Today at 13:45 »I have a few around in the garden and at least 1 usually moves into the greenhouse over the summer months.
The only damage they cause as such is sometimes they make themselves a little hole to sit in on top of a pot so they can be down in the damp compost. That can squish a few leaves depending on how well fed and rotund your toad happens to be If you have a pot saucer with some water in tucked away in a corner, they use that instead.

General Gardening / Getting grown plug plants out of modules.
« Last post by Goosegirl on Today at 10:15 »I'm about to plant out my antirrhinums and lobelia plants that I put into modules. When I have done this and upended one side I find that some of the others either fall out or get a bit squashed by the tray. Today I am going to try out using a shoe horn as it is smaller in size that a bulb trowel and they should come out much easier. Whaddya you think?
