My AeroGarden cilantro finally sprouted recently! 
I was beginning to wonder if I had a dud-pod!

A dead frog, one we threw out on Saturday, cos it'd been partying in our bedroom! 
Duh I meant mouse not frog!

I know, I hate the idea of snail bait but it's becoming a real problem. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats so am worried about using bait, but I tried a small amount near some seedlings and it's like a snail cemetery (there are just soo many of them). I tried lots of mulch but that didn't help. Anyone with good anti snail ideas please let me know.

All my mints have come back beautifully! I have a couple of pots of spearmint, eau de cologne mint, lemon balm and licorice mint (true!) and they have all put out so much leaf and are looking so green and happy in the rain!
Sheryl there are good tips here: http://www.jamieoliver.com/forum/viewto … 11&p=1
