buy a predator

Fair enough, though don't you think it seems a bit extreme to feed them through a chipper?

How can I keep the potato-beetles away from my garden?? They are attacking not only my potatoes but my aubergines!! They're killing me (and my vegies)!!

 

Cut up a few old tatties in half and place them near your crop they will soon be attracted to the cut ones then squish with index finger a thumb. wireworm is usually a problem with new veg plot areas which were grass before IME.

Still trying to get my veg patch dug over, its over run with bitter cress again and tomatoes etc have been slowed down a bit by the wind blowing the door off the greenhouse

You should see your beans twice in May. Once when you plant them and then when they come up.

 

Their in peat pots and about 8 inches high already. They have been put outside undercover for 4 days so should be hardy enough to go out into the big wide world.

Ne'er cast a clout 'til may is out. In the excitement to get the veg garden going these April and May frosts catch out the tender plants. A lot of tender plants should be seen twice in May. You can't outwit the seasons:001_smile:
