Another trip to the allotment today. The red cabbage plants I planted the other day have been decimated (by slugs I think, but I think there may be some other prolific pest at large).
Worse still, two of the currant bushes have been almost completely stripped of fruit. It wasn’t ripe yet so the birds that have [...]
