    Annuals that slugs and snails dislike

    Not heard of those before, I have some slug collars. Maybe I need to upgrade them with a battery pack. :)

    Tips for growing Anisodontea capensis

    I've got a standard one I bought in B&M Bargains a few yrs ago. I keep it in a pot and put it in a shelter for winter. It's just got bare stems at the moment but under the bark is green so it's alive.

    Seedlings safe to move to unheated greenhouse?

    I wouldn't be too keen to over pot at this stage, just because a few roots show in the drainage holes doesn't mean the plants are pot bound.

    Advice on what to plant as a natural barrier

    The idea is to hide the wall but also have a higher boundary. So something 1-1.5m tall would be good. I went out and measured last night and goes from about 27cm wide and gradually tapers up...
