I sprinkled my veg troughs with organic slug pellets (ferric phosphate) and thought I\’d update on how things are doing.

My curly kale that I planted as plugs in september are still small but promising. There is no direct sunlight on my North facing back garden until about mid to end March, and then they\’ll really get going.

My garlic planted in September is coming on fine.

I also have a few sorrel plants. These grow back year after year, and a few snipped leaves tossed onto a salad or stir fry gives added interest. Mine need to grow on a bit more before I take any cuttings.
