I grow my r-o in a frame at ground level (peshmenii in the greenhouse) and thought they should be through by now. Everyone has been eaten of level with the topdressing by slugs!!

I suppose it will give the bulbs chance to build up for next year.

Yes, this autumn has been too mild and damp and I expect slugs will be a big problem until we get some cold weather.

Melvyn,

Lovely to see them looking so well at this early time of the year, something which doesn't happen in my garden.
