snail update!

I can tell you're all on the edge of your seats wondering about my beans and the potential snail flash-mob, so I thought I'd just pop in to let you know that the beans still appear to be there. I can only guess that this is because the snails don't yet have their watches synchronised.

Either that or they are in negotiation with the powerful slug overlords over who's getting the French, and who the broad. As soon as this is finished they will mass on my lawn and make the opening salvo.
Further news as it happens. Better than news 24 'round here.

I have today planted out three kinds of bean in my garden (runner, French and broad, since you ask).

I am now working hard not to imagine all the snails in south east London turning as one towards my garden and crawling slowly, slowly, closer and closer to my vulnerable vegetable patch.

I shall probably plant the tomatoes next weekend. It'll give them some variety in their diet.
