This really motivated me to try again and I am so excited to show you how well my garden is growing. I would have loved to have a completely organic garden, but I have been fighting a loosing battle with snails - so I have resorted to snail-ban.
Here is the swiss-chard.
Cauliflowers are looking good - yummy!
Lots of lettuce, which will be ready for great summer salads.
Lavender, just because it looks and smells so beautiful.

I lost my garden because of snails and the dread worm that operates in the night, so have to start from scratch. Your plants looks so healthy!!!
Nina - That's my biggest problem, they "only come out at night"!
Okay, now I'm reqlly impressed!
Very impressive! I also have a running battle with snails, and these ghastly little caterpillars that come after my nasturtiums and end up eating everything else. Have you tried saucers of beer to deal with the snails? It definitely works for slugs - the little suckers like the taste and drown - at least they die happy!
I have some very happy tomatoes ripening on the vines; some butternut that flowers a lot but seems unable to set fruit; and some chillies that are about to flower.
Jeanne - I just heard the other day about the beer trick, definitely going to give it a try. I also have heard that tobacco dust work well too! You garden sound very promising.
