Spring is a busy time in the garden and I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed, but this morning I have enlisted some helpers – around 12 million of them, in fact! My slug killing nematodes arrived yesterday, spent the night in the fridge and this morning have been watered around the garden. They should help control slugs for the next six weeks.
After I set them to work I did some myself. I potted up around 30 pepper seedlings, then ran out of clean pots, which leaves me around 6 left to pot up from this batch. And then I potted on the three small olive trees that arrived a little while ago. They were in such horrible, clumpy soil that I had to break their rootballs apart before potting them on, otherwise I don’t think they’d ever spread out into the new compost.
