    Good Morning all!! thought i would properly introduce myself, before invading your brains with inane questions. My specialist subject is getting any seeds to mould off in record time, quite a feat! Don't have a garden,yet.... but have a cute west facing balcony, got a couple of thunbergias and a dead strawberry plant gracing it just now. Have a productive day + lang may yer knees creek!

    found it! Looking good Rosa. I had to bring my Jasmine in, the roots are a tasty snack for local squirrels. Going to try the chilli spray technique - want to stay organic if i can....any tips on how to keep them away?

    You could try explosives... :D
    If there is something they want to eat, they are very clever at getting it. Not tried chilli spray though.
