Like the above letter I also have planted out some Brussel Sprouts that another allotment friend gave me. I surrounded the plants with egg shells, but the slugs seemed to like them, as they have eaten most of my plants. So I have had to resort to slug pellets which I hate using. The slugs have also eaten some of my Purple Sprouting Broccoli, which I have not scattered pellets around as there are lots of them to share with the slugs! My Sweet Corn is looking very healthy, also the Parsnips ,Beetroot, Onions, Garlic, Swiss Chard ,and some of the Carrots. As mentioned in my previous letter I lost my Leek seedlings, but the same friend who gave me the Brussel Sprouts has promised me some of her Leek seedlings. Eve from Westerham Kent.
