Notes

being attacked by snails :(

Update: it's starting to grow again. I need to keep the Slugs away.

2019-01 sprayed pyrethrum because there are green caterpillars curling the leaves. No flowers so hopefully no bees get the spray too. It

2019-10 lots of new growth. I've put slug bait down.

Experimental: this feature is new and might be flaky. These dates are estimates from 25 km weather-model data, not readings from a station at your garden, so a cold spot can be colder. They may be wrong, so check your national weather service and ask local growers before relying on them.
