👉 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿! SLUGS: As always, slugs continue to be a presence in the garden,
especially under cover in greenhouses and polytunnels. Check under pots for any slimy visitors, and move them to a wild area to winter under piles of leaves.

Sadly, it’s not an isolated case. Lock up, stay alert, and support your fellow growers — our plots are worth protecting.
