RONALD GETS DOWN AND DIRTY & DISPLAYS HIS GENIUS.
Wanting to plant some CABBAGES and CAULIFLOWERS we went to look at some CLOCHES to protect them from the voracious SLUGS and SNAILS.
They are EXPENSIVE almost equalling the cost of a small PRIVATE JET!
Ronald takes control and we head to a CHEAP and CHEERFUL value shop, where whilst I am having a RUMMAGE amongst RIBBONS, TRIMS and CRAFT paraphernalia he FERRETS around trying to discover an alternative.
We check out three £1.00 POP-OUT MESH LAUNDRY BAGS and some GREEN PLASTIC GARDEN PEGS. As we head for the car, it goes through my mind that Ronald may have been watching RE-RUNS of 1970’s BLUE PETER.
Here is the result over the CAULIFLOWERS. GENIUS!
Now we know it works, we will return for some to cover the CABBAGES.
Yours Greenfingerdly

Genius for sure.
Thank you dear. They appear to be working, we have had our first rain and wind in months and they survived.
Any advice for dealing with Aphids? They are attacking my purple sprouts! How dare they?
I do sympathise, try spraying with a little diluted Fairy Liquid ( other washing up liquids are available) in the daylight. When it’s dark, do like Ronald does, p..s around the garden, it keeps foxes away as well. Come to think of it, he does it in daylight as we’ll!
I tried the fairy liquid spray but to no avail. I have an indoor garden so the p…ing trick might be frowned upon by my good lady.
What you need is some Syrphid Flies they eat aphids, perhaps they would be more acceptable.
