From Tiny Acorns Mighty Oaks do Grow

Well ok, not exactly mighty oaks but pretty decent runner beans!



Despite having a really good start in life being carefully nurtured in the sewing room window, these fellas have had a tough time with the wet summer and the inevitable slugs and snails; not to mention the heavy clay soil.



My 'natural' pest prevention techniques, i.e seeing if Brian the Snail and Cyril the Slug liked to fly, were having no effect whatsoever so I reluctantly resorted to slug pellets, something I was trying to avoid so the Little Monster could enjoy the garden too. However, these did save the day and we have definately been rewarded for the hard work - the Little Monster even had one with her tea :) and there are lots more to come.
