Kate, could it be the small dark smeaky slugs that lurk underground doing the damage? On more than one programme over the years I've heard that they tend to be the major culprits and it's the big fat noticeable ones that get the blame.
I'm using industrial quantitiies of anti histamine cream at the mo. as I keep getting small bites from passing mozzies.
As I am the fountain of all useless knowledge- a course of Vitamin E tablets is suppose to ward off insect bites- something to do with the blood taste?
ha ha ha. No I get it from the One Stop round the corner Geoff!!
Is this stupid thing ready for picking yet!! Driving me mad now, but I read somewhere you have to wait until the tip at the bottom is completely red to ensure properly ripe! This is sooo close!
Geoff you are correct which is why I get bitten a lot . I have an illness that requires a vit B injection every 3 months - due to get it next week which is why I have to be a bit vigilant at the moment.

Does Two Ton Ted from Teddington deliver bread to you Becks?
