Abi's Patch

Abi's patch currently comprises about 6 bright coloured flowers/plants and two pumpkin plants (grown from seeds given to us by a friend and expert allotmenteer). We have attempted to defend against slugs with:

1. An organic anti-slug gel which is kind to anything (I remain cynical about whether it can therefore deter slugs!)
2. Good, old-fashioned beer-traps (fashioned out of plastic milk bottles)

Abi has painted her own sign (as can be seen below) onto a white ceramic tile.
