Fruit n frogs


The new pond on plot one is proving to be a great success and is used by birds regularly for bathing. It is also full of next years slug repellant, hundreds of tadpoles of both the frog and toad varieties. How organic a way is that to get rid of slugs and other nasties?

Als othe existing espalier and cordon fruit trees planted last year have all benefitted from a mulch of manure and plenty of watering last year and are all full of blossom. Hopefully this will turn into a reasonable crop of fruit come the autumn.
