The Experiment (2)


Further to my previous posting about the over-winter carrots, noticed this morning that the true leaves are now appearing. Had also noticed a couple of days ago, a slug trail in one of the pots. Pleased to report that the precautions taken have resulted in one massive, but very dead slug.

I posted a question on the allotment site a while back about jelly like things on the top of my soil (grow bag) I was told it could be water retaining gel. I couldn't upload a piccie of mine but I see in your carrot piccie that you have exactly the same gel thingy as me........so is it water retaining gel Dave ?

Sorry Karen, only just picked up your comment - took me by surprise!

I think I can see what you mean, but it's just the way the camera flash has caught a bark chipping in the compost!
