I must try Patty pan squashes next year, a friend has them growing and they look great. Your carrot looks perfect, mine were a bit deformed, but I had a few good shaped ones, not that shape matters as they did taste lovely. I am ashamed to say that I haven't visited your blog for a while or many others come to that. BUT now the evenings are drawing in I shall be catching up on everyone and getting some inspiration for next years planting.<br /><br />By the way, thanks for trying to enlarge the recipe pic, I took your advice and did the old fashioned way. It's typed out on the post now if you want to try the chutney.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345846016087237642.post-65725850532357423262009-08-16T11:01:09.192+01:002009-08-16T11:01:09.192+01:00Hi Kim - Interestingly, I don't actually view ...Hi Kim - Interestingly, I don't actually view the red ants as being a problem. The problem is me getting in the way of their mandibles - after all, I'm the big invader wrecking their homes so of course they're going to attack! I just need to pay more attention, that's all and remember to actually LOOK whenever I feel something's crawling on me rather than just thinking it's a bit of grass touching me, and if there is an ant, flick it off. I wasn't paying proper attention when I got bitten 7 times. Still, they're evil feckers. Also I thought nematodes were only good for slugs?<br /><br />Hmm, if you're infested though, I don't know what to suggest. I know people have put petrol down their nests but that seems a bit cruel to me (if not a bit of a fire risk!). Good luck, anyway!!!Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2345846016087237642.post-47515764355991780812009-08-11T16:51:47.018+01:002009-08-11T16:51:47.018+01:00Did you manage to solve your red ant problem? I...Did you manage to solve your red ant problem? I've just come back from my allotment and have found 3 brand new red ant nests, even after a liberal dose of nematodes on the plot. I googled red ants and the consensus is leave them alone. That obviously comes from people whose plots are not infested with the evil little.....<br />Kim xxKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16258067425531120075noreply@blogger.com
