Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.
Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

That said the frog army from the wildlife pond really does keep the population down and if the amount of frog spawn there at the weekend is anything to go by then it'll be great this year~~~ Gardening is medicine that does not need
a prescription ... And with no limit on dosage.

Don't get me wrong banning DDT and some of the other nasty stuff was correct but a lot of stuff they are stopping us using now is just crazy and is nowhere near as bad.
As for slugs and snails, I pick em up and throw them in the stream that runs past our allotments along the border, if they survive that and crawl out alive then they deserve to live. Might give em a decent death and put beer traps down this year, let em have 'death by hangover'.The day that Microsoft makes something that doesn't suck ...
... is the day they make vacuum cleaners

I go slug truffling most nights when my garden is in full swing. They are popped in a tub then tipped over the wall at the front garden into the stream for the frogsWhen weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it.
If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
