Hello. I use both cold frames and greenhouses. Lettuce does just fine in a cold frame here and so do carrots. Other things, like peas will eventually freeze out.

Hi Jan Pondlady and Welcome Sheri (I am new too, and a gardening addict!)
Please, please, please, can someone tell me how any of you manage to grow anything at all without the slugs getting it?
I am so sad. I thought we had found the perfect food crop - Turnips!! they throw themselves up in no time with no care and we all love them and ,so I thought , slugs do not like them. Wrong! Each one has a round hole in it!
Do people secretly resort to slugicides? I have tried all the other remedies. Maybe the only answer is to grow them inside something?

Shallow containers like jar tops full of beer attract slugs who love beer, but don't know their limit. They drink, drown, and no more slugs. All the turnips you want.

I read your new forum rules, siohain. Good luck. I agree re not posting your work. Good idea. We were out driving yesterday and wildflowers are bursting out all over the sides of the roads around New Orleans. Even Katrina could not keep the wildlfowers away.  let us know what your garden favorites are.
