Kate, the tomatoes started by being attacked by Thursday's typhoon so I tied them up really thoroughly in their south facing (sheltered!!) bed. But I forgot to renew the slug pellets after the rain, and last night the slugs went straight for the bruised stems and ate straight through them. I would like to have the post of slug made redundant, except that it would probably mean that something, somewhere goes hungry.
OH is lighting the BBQ (gas) as we speak, so there's something non-veggie tonight.
The one big advantage of the BBQ is that OH does a nice line in chops/steak/bangers and doesn't make the house smell of cooking. He just has to put up with cooking on his own (he's under cover: I don't make him cook in the rain). Of course you can come round, Kate, I'll get him to put extra on ... oh, too late, he says it's ready.
PS the bloomin' slugs have eaten the cucumber plants as well. Time for a proper drink...

I have a film to watch after the footy.
What is the kitchen preparing?

On the basis that everything has a point- other than being food for the next thing in the chain- what good do slugs do, or flies, or wasps?
Pork chops,potatoes,peas and gravy
Poirot is on at 8 -don't think I have seen that one but it is another 2 hours if concentration
Oh smallswan that is really rough. Each year I say I am going to give up on tomatoes and this year may be the final straw.
I am cooking fried potatoes, bacon, fried beans and fried tomatoes.
I can smell a BBQ I wonder if I could just wander in
I will record Poirot as pickings next week are slim.
All that cholesterol in one one mouthful-crikey
Don't like BBQ-seems a lot of hassle when there is an oven in the kitchen or a fish and chip shop on the corner
smallswan's OH is cooking it would be rude to not pop around for a sausage.
I did dig today, I will add some lettuce if that makes you happy.
The sun is out and I can feel plants growing as I type.
Can you fry lettuce?
Yes, ask your chef, you have been missing out.
Denmark beat Holland
Is that good, bad. or surprising?
