Those are all doing well, Nemesis, and I love the bright colour combinations.
The flowers on my Senecio bush had been starting to look rather bald and I thought that it was probably the snails. On Wednesday evening I caught them red handed. The garden was overrun with slugs and snails - standing quietly I could hear them rasping away at my plants!
On the allotment things aren't much better - the weather, slugs, snails, etc have finished off most of my seedlings (apart from the broad beans, which produced a reasonable crop) and I've not had much success with raising them at home. I've tried a basic coldframe for hardening off seedlings started indoors and the slugs think its wonderful - it gives them a nice, humid, warm shelter so that after gorging on my seedlings they can just curl up comfortably around the stumps to sleep off their big meal!
However the rhubarb on the allotment has done brilliantly, the potatoes and onions are fine and the blackberries are coming along nicely. At least I haven't had to worry about watering!
