I found a slug the other day - dangerous creatures - it got flung over the fence whilst wondering what on earth was going on!!! The singing has worked - they have asked me to stop - and poked their heads up - :)I liek to think of them as napping, waking and being stubborn - all with their own personalities!<br /><br />Janine - hello - anything you need give me a call! xx<br /><br />Goodluck with all the potting shaz!!Thank you for the sweetcorn tip!Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-83348487761035982452011-03-17T21:07:59.856+00:002011-03-17T21:07:59.856+00:00hmmmm... that should say....

I love your descriptions of your seeds as sleeping or sleeping but stretching etc. I've had a few sulkers too, not to mention that some of my cleome are being nibbled at by something horrid in the greenhouse. I suspect slugs or snails, I need to hunt them down. Very impressed that you are already eating home grown - my second lot of coriander is almost ready to eat, but everything else is still sulking. Hope your noise-making and general complaining and pleading work wonders and your seeds wake up and stretch and grow strong and tall.Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-73031480500913419252011-03-17T13:06:58.121+00:002011-03-17T13:06:58.121+00:00wow fay you have been busy .

Its a bit of an experiment growing them as they are just from the supermarket (tried it before and it worked).<br /><br />Fran and Karen - I'm not being loud - mainly I'm singing to them - then I can leave the radio on over night and get a rest!!! They are being sung the song I've put into the link up there - I'm good at the dooooowapopppp bits!<br /><br />Do you remember the good life episode where they have the experiment <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cEi8smmG7k<br /><br />Barbara had more luck than Tom so I'm taking her approach - but I am impatient!!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by!Fay McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14573998704716650377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-3008681961449432172011-03-17T08:17:28.881+00:002011-03-17T08:17:28.881+00:00I am with Fran on this - a quiet chat is what is n...I am with Fran on this - a quiet chat is what is needed!<br />:)<br />KKaren - An Artist's Gardenhttp://www.artistsgarden.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3810916424535818779.post-54178917777531788642011-03-17T05:43:37.044+00:002011-03-17T05:43:37.044+00:00Loud noise will only frighten them.
