And there are always successes and failures. It's different year to year. That's the nature of gardening.<br /><br />I do hope you have some good persimmons -- they're delicious when fully ripe!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />LisaLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657232418012801175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-40188914757522614262010-06-15T16:02:12.806-07:002010-06-15T16:02:12.806-07:00Holy COW!

I'm speculating that maybe green tomatoes might be a problem, but ripe ones are the safe part of the plant, so would continue benign?Adrian Ayres Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11057583835126786240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-70671769421375057552010-06-14T23:37:47.818-07:002010-06-14T23:37:47.818-07:00Sounds like you came out with as many successes as...Sounds like you came out with as many successes as failures and I love your labelled garden!<br />No instant cure for slugs I'm afraid-it's mostly snails that do the job in my garden-except, if you can bear it, go out after dark with a torch and pick 'em up and er...dispose of them. Drowning works for the squeamish!Threadspiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06780634324037593398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-81971006744274881962010-06-14T16:52:30.298-07:002010-06-14T16:52:30.298-07:00The wackiest slug deterrent I've heard of is t...The wackiest slug deterrent I've heard of is to wrap your plant stems loosely with aluminum foil collars - apparently slugs can't climb foil. Lovely picture, despite your modesty - I like the labels!Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12078359338331712659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-45831071192145449022010-06-14T16:48:40.730-07:002010-06-14T16:48:40.730-07:00Damn slugs indeed!

They gave my zucchini a disease! <br /><br />You've already got tomatoes! I've got fuzzy flower-buds all over my plants just ready to burst, but I shouldn't expect fruit for at least a month. And my potatoes have put out buds too! Yaaaay first year gardens!Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10613698397288879671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-28291229170551823592010-06-14T08:16:15.179-07:002010-06-14T08:16:15.179-07:00Awesome!!

Slugs can be devastating, but looks like you're pulling through really well (extra credit for labels!)<br />I still have Cornichon seeds if you'd like to try again. I just sampled my first one- green bean flavor followed by a mild cucumber. Slightly fuzzy texture on the outside, but not too off-putting.<br />That persimmon tree is just darling!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-86429618727996941342010-06-14T06:22:04.381-07:002010-06-14T06:22:04.381-07:00Robb points out that since his pruning pole extend...Robb points out that since his pruning pole extender <br /><br />1.
