    Hi Everyone,

    My blueberry plants is being eaten by slugs (I think) and given the love and attention I've bestowed on this plant I really want them to stop! I'd like to do this without slug pellets and to keep it organic and preferably deter rather than kill.... Any ideas please?

    Also, you may have read that I blog about my garden; new instalment here: For The Love of Food: Sowing Sunday Week 5…. On a Monday I hope you enjoy it

    Bea

          Can small courgettes which have stopped growing and are slightly soft be eaten?
