Re: growing your own veggies
Remove the slugs and scatter broken egg shells round the base of the plant and around the pot, the little buggers don`t like it, it works for me anyway.......

Re: growing your own veggies
If they start to grow flowers, pinch them out, then more energy will go into growing the spuds and not the flowers.

Re: growing your own veggies
put salt on them .... then you won't need to add salt when you cook your spuds:
and the slugs will melt .......( oh dear) |

Re: growing your own veggies
I planted six... got loads of green very tall: and ended up with five spuds ( and they were the ones I planted so nothing)
still all the joys of gardening.... know better next time: toms are still doing really well... but the birds had all my beetroot seeds: |
