A slightly hazy sun and a tiny breeze here. Just watered some potting-on plants and others already in the garden so they shouldn't get their leaves sunburnt.

General Gardening / Re: Quince tree repot barrel help
« Last post by Goosegirl on Today at 08:58 »
Ah, I have a few whisky barrels that I got at a very good price all the way from Scotland and yes, they are heavy even when empty. If you can attach some sturdy wheels to the bottom then you will not only be able to move it, it will also help with any drainage issues.

It's the chicken food that can attract rats. Maybe a Lee Enfield or a Martini Henry rifle wouldn't go amiss if you see any!  :tongue2:

Grow Your Own / Re: Efficacy of organic slug pellets.
« Last post by Goosegirl on Today at 08:52 »
I planted out my dwarf French beans and mini-pop sweetcorn a few days ago and sparingly (as far as I could) scattered the bran ones. The next day I saw some pellets had gone plus some small slime trails but no bodies. So far, so good then I scattered a few more where the other ones had disappeared. Hopefully it's Ha! Gotcha!

I'm holding back on the outdoor toms for another week or two, just in case.

Change of plan - I planted the Crimson Crush tomatoes out yesterday.

Grow Your Own / Re: Chitting sweetcorn, when to pot up?
« Last post by Nobbie on Yesterday at 20:15 »
Err.... asking for a friend... but is the chitted bit of the sweetcorn that appears the root or shoot? So which way up would it go in a toilet roll tube?

The root is first to sprout followed a day or two later by the shoot. Root is pointy with hairs coming off it, shoot is blunt and smooth.
