Yes, everything is slow growing because of unseasonal weather, what is growing is being eaten away by slugs and snails. Raspberries are doing well. Pigeons keep having ago at the brassicas, however they’re struggling through.
However our’s isn’t too bad, due the encouragement of wildlife in the garden. Frogs, birds etc are chomping away at night.
Bad as this sounds, I’ve been going out at night and after heavy rain to chop the slugs in half, a much quicker death than being poked, prodded and finally eaten very slowy by a bird.
disco_stu – if you can help it, try not to use slug pellets, they are very bad for hedgehogs, which are the very creatures you need to entice into you veggie plot 🙂
