Why don't we have a little competition to see who can grow the biggest!
I will be sticking in Atlantic Giant over the next week or so, Why don't you try and grow

Well, It was last Saturday 4th April I went to the plot and wetted the soil in preparation of using Nemaslug. (after storing it in my fridge for 2 weeks as it says on the packet!)
I used a quarter of the Nemaslug and placed it into a watering can and filled with cold water. I covered my area that has currently my Late Potatoes in.
I will let you know if I see any Slugs. The problem I had last year is those small black slugs sticking out of my potatoes! Yuk!
