Grow Your Own / Re: Should I be concerned?

After a good spray with a soapy water mix yesterday afternoon, my broad bean leaves have sort of partially blackened overnight. Doesn't exactly look fatal.....but I don't know what to think.

Saw something quite a while ago from someone who had sprayed his chilli plants with a solution made from a well known washing up liquid brand and a few hours later a number of the plants completely shed their leaves! Fortunately the plants didn't die and grew new leaves.

I have honestly never seen so many slugs and snails all over the plot as I saw this morning.
They seem especially fond of eating all my onions and lilies!

Anyone else experiencing a particularly slimy year?

Yep: onion, beans and squash plants totally devastated......

It�s the dodgy weather the slugs love it and my seedlings!!
New pellets are hopeless against them this year

Constant rain from 1am so it's a very soggy and damp 11c but at least the wind has dropped. We're forecast thunderstorms at lunchtime which should round things off nicely.

Grey, damp after overnight rain, and 14C.
It's supposed to warm up this afternoon, fingers crossed.
9C overnight in the g/house.

We have a cat as well. A very fussy cat.

My son has a cat. Apparently less fussy. It eats fingernail clippings out of the trash can , and drinks from the toilet

What about the cat?

I see what you did there ...

As an ex marketer I think the advertising is somewhat random.
I have been bombarded with numerous offers of good deals on dresses??
Clearly makes sense to promote gardening related items but as an over 70 bloke am I expected to don a frock to dig on the allotment??
