Hello from deepest France

[sackville]

Well not that deep but deeper than millymollymandy who inhabits other fora on which I sometimes post.
We are a bit further south than the middle of France and a bit further west.
We have lived here 6 years and we currently have a lovely house just out of a village. We have about 2 acres of land including fruit trees and a large potager. Until last year growing anything here was a doddle. Last year was damp and we had blight on the potatoes, tomatoes and grapes and a constant battle with slugs and snails. Looks like this year will be similar. My husband (who mostly cuts the grass, digs on instruction and moves heavy things for me) thinks I am either mad or an incurable optimist.

Hiya Sackville, welcome to the Ishers!

We are all hoping that this year will be better than last... I lost all my tatties to blight, too - and the tomatoes hardly got to the fruiting stage (in the tunnel)!

Hi Sackville

Your avatar is the best slug killer in the world, as far as I'm concerned (try telling 'em that here ). I'll get told off for that.
