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.0 -
A good tip for those sqeemish about touching slugs is use a peg to pick them up,it works a treat.0

Oooooh I love slug hunting, I go out armed with a knife and cut them in half, very theruputic
My sister can't get over how huge my slugs are :rotfl: A creative mess is better than tidy idleness0 -
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.0 -

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.0 -
