slugs

 so after months of good, even warmer than usual, weather the Netherlands typical one is returning.

that means rain, rain, rain. And with it the slugs come out. Unfortunately they already eat some of my leaves, cabbage and cauliflower but they attacked my spinach too.

So I started some traps:

I filled them with beer.

The cheapest, from Lidl :)

ta daa!!

14 slugs there

I threw them over the compost pile

But on more positive note I got my first harvest today:

spinach

spinach

spinach

Hope I can post soon more fruits of labor ;)

Cheers!

slow

 so from all initial seeds I can see like 1/4th, and smaller than it should be

at this time, the cabbage , red cabbage and cauliflower seedlings had the 

leaves eaten completely by ... something.

I see some nasturtium seedlings coming up but I bought 4 marigold pairs and put it here and there,

also some new cabbage, cauliflower and peppers seedlings, bought yeah,

and planted some more carrots from seeds since nothing came out from original ones.

I have to say since the first time I planted it rained only for 2 days, in 2 months and was more warm than any spring...

I leave you with a picture of my dog.
