Garden Diary



Can you see the windmills we made to keep the birds off?
Unfortunately we have noticed cabbage moth eggs on the broccoli, so we don't think the garlic spray and coffee worked.
Mrs Duffin suggested we try sprinkling flour on the leaves. Thanks Mrs Duffin, we'll try it!
Mrs Wall said that the trick with coffee is that you use old coffee grounds to keep the slugs and snails off. So she gave us some coffee grounds and we have put it round the garden. Thanks Mrs Wall!
And ... good news, the carrot seeds are up!

  1. I will be very interested to see your purple carrots when they are reading for pulling up. I have never seen any before, but some of you have told me that they are a very old type of carrot. You are very happy little gardeners!
