Not the same one I'm afraid, unless he was swimming the breast stroke with no legs. I had them for my tea on Monday. Waiting for the next one to fatten up a bit now. :cool:

Definitely the same one. I know because I drew on him with a crayon so I'd know if he came back.

Gawd knows what you're eating. :rotfl:

I have eaten straws from the garden and foraged raspberries. Yum.

My first tomato was going red!! .....and had been eaten from the inside out.

My first strawberry from this batch was ready for eating!! ....and had also been eaten from the inside out.

I give up!

I'm giving up with you Drea, I've literally mulched my strawberry tubs with slug pellets and they've still all been got at by the slimy little devils. :mad:

I'd make them all extinct if I could! :mad:

I've had a look round today and have to say I'm quite encouraged. My only cauliflower is making good progress, I have French beans coming, and my first tomato is ripening at last. :j

I still haven't got very many tomatoes, considering I've got so many plants.

Oh I see, everyone has almost red toms except for me

MBE What happened to the other cauliflowers? on the assumption you sowed more than 1 seed

My woodmouse is getting braver, he's now out daytime. Must be able to run quickly with the amount of cats around here, either that or he has a death wish.

I find it hard to believe that it's really going to warm up by Sunday, my bathroom and living room were 15c this morning and it felt chilly, however being optimistic I have gardening shorts,t-shirt and sandals ready for next week

EDIT: IT's tipping down again, so much for drying out the garden.

Not here. Mine's a yellow one. :whistle:

I'm not entirely sure - I think I did only sow one. They take up so much room, and don't tend to work very well. I have got some more seedlings on the go for when more space becomes available.

Not me either, I've got dozens of green ones of varying size up to golf ball and that's it.

I only have two tiny green things that will probably rot before they go red.

I have millions of flowers but nothing much is happening with them.
