Not quite sure.I've tried it with hazel nuts but it didn't quite work.

I just dry my sunflower seeds out. I leave them on a tray or a plate in the greenhouse

My anti-slug strategy this year is hair!

I read somewhere that slugs can't slime over the hair as they get tangled up in it. So my medium length hair and my moulting cat are hoping to be garden heroes this year :cool:

Failing that, good old salt and crushed eggshells

I am going to plant one in the ground and one in a very large pot. I think I will try to make it as difficult as possible for the slugs, lots of stones and grit etc and see how it goes on.

Not sure we could manage the hair in this household, mine is short and DH is folicly challenged.

Well that's the thing :eek::eek: I was looking for macaroni and he was helping me......he took minutes to memorise every pasta on the shelves! and has been reciting them all night ( in the dodgy Italian accent) in the order they appear on the shelf. We had a pasta quiz earlier.....I name a pasta, he tells me what's on the left and right of it on the shelf....and the price!!!! :eek:

For this reason I will not be taking him to the ladies hygiene aisle :eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Wow!!

But.. why???
Obviously pasta is his new 'special interest'. I'm sorry that he's worse (or better) than me.

Has he got a photographic memory?? I wish I had, to some extent. In fact I'd rather like to have synaesthesia - not the kind that causes any sensory problems or pain or discomfort or anything like that - it's where one sense triggers off another - such as hearing music appears inherently to have colour. Or each number has a specific colour every time you see it, and inherently. So, for example, number 1 is white, number 2 is blue, number 3 you always see as orange. I wish I had that - harmless but a totally different perception. (The colours in synaesthetics vary from each person with it to the next. It's a very rare, and fascinating, condition - but some people with it do suffer real sensory problems, some don't I gather (and I'd quite have liked to have had the latter).)

Now, number 26, that's definitely blue then green! Apologies if you have the condition and I'm making fun of it. Nothing untoward intended.

There are people who suffer from both Asperger's and synaesthesia and have real sensory problems with the two. It's certainly not fun, just as much as spectrum conditions such as autism and Asperger's (without synaesthesia, either alone or with co-morbids) affect sufferers differently.

How eloquent my oh half is too.....we had some old photos out a while back and the kids were wetting themselves at their dad with hair :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

another thing to note. Slugs love them!!! I cover mine with cut down coke bottles when I plant them out, until they're big enough to cope
