veg growing Newbies- Feb 2010! lets learn together!

tattonlady

My sweet peas have a white deposit on them plus small holes on the leaves. I bought slug pellets thinking it may be slugs or snails. They still seem to be poorly!! I planted them about 3 weeks ago.They were established plants when I bought them.
I have tied them to supports in a raised bed. Nothing else in the bed has been affected.
Can anyone help please?
Thankyou, Tatton lady.

A good tip for those sqeemish about touching slugs is use a peg to pick them up,it works a treat.

Quick question about tomatoes. Mine are taking over the room and I want to move them outside. Will they be okay in one of those plastic greenhouses from Wilko's?

My toms have been outside a week and seem to be doing OK. I hardened them off for 2 weeks then just left them out. So are my peppers and chillis.

Actually everything is outside now. The only thing that died is sweetcorn.

I found this site thats selling trugs at a reasonable price but I dont know what size to get. I need them for beans, peas, carrots, courgette and sun flowers lol Can anyone suggest sizes please.

I bought 5 trugs from Tesco's earlier today for £1.99 each, originally £3.57 I think or thereabouts! They were the 27 litre ones which would be suitable for what you are growing.
