Slugs and Snails some facts some stories and some advice

According to some organisations, we now need to embrace Slugs and Snails as part of our garden ecosystem. Yet many people complain Slugs and Snails are eating everything in their garden, can this be true, and should we be killing them or not? This latest information has caused me to rewrite my presentation on Slugs and Snails, and this is the fact sheet to accompany that presentation. Should we use Slug Pellets?, what are the alternative, are any plants resistant to Slugs and Snails?, then read on.

Growing and using Mints

Mint is perhaps the most popular herb in British kitchens, and few gardens are without a large clump of mint of one type or another. These mints are amongst the oldest of European herbs, and their use stretches back through Roman and Greek times and probably into the neolithic era.

Variegated Delights is a fact sheet to accompany my presentation of the same title. We do hope you will find it useful. A quick search of the plant names should quickly bring up suppliers if you cannot find a local source.

Streptocarpus Their Care And Cultivation

Streptocarpus are easy to grow houseplants that can flower over long periods and suffer few pests and diseases. They can be long-lived, are not difficult to propagate by leaf cuttings. They represent good value for money and can be seen as environmentally friendly in comparison with cut flowers. Furthermore, they may even be used as summer bedding plants as demonstrated by John Massey MBE VMH in his garden at Ashwood Nurseries.
