What's eating my seedlings?!

Grub or bug?

If you want to cobble up a cover, even trying to patch together the original one, you might want to try a staple gun rather than tape/ sewing. When I had one of these, I secured it to the soil with tent pegs.

I've found some teeny slugs and snails in the gh, guess they're hungry.

I'd think the culprits are slugs/snails - I use Eco friendly pellets sprinkled round the gh. It's also worth having a good look under staging etc as snails may well be lurking there in the daylight hours.
I'd advise action sooner rather than later, otherwise they might well munch the lot.

Mmmm love the smell of hyacinths. Bloke's recently built me a new log store, with a flat roof. I've got a trough of hyacinths on there at the moment, they're just at nose height as you walk past.

Did you cut the leaves off last year, or did you let them wither away naturally?

I'd get them out. They like a sunny spot, well drained soil. I don't have pigeon problems, but I guess if you've got a suitable spot in your frt cage that would be fine.

Honeysuckle would probably be happy in that situation too.

My poor rhubarb has collapsed!

I'm wondering if the tub's got adequate drainage holes. What's it made of? Terracotta, wood, plastic...?

Yup, put your Welles on, don't plant 'em barefoot.

Seriously, best to let them get esablished in pots before liberating them.

Left the roots in after clearing last year's crop, they've survived the winter and putting up new growth.
