Sounds amazing. For hand tools, check out Implementations who do beautiful copper hand tools. Expensive obviously but so, so lovely. And apparently they deter slugs. All the best with everything ! implementations.co.uk

“Shrimp brains” on the tablecloth.

Yours is my fav Substack. I predict your book deal after Gardener’s World special appearance. You know the one where people feature their own garden in a short video.

All sounds fantastic. Without wishing to dampen your enthusiasm for delphiniums, Gloucestershire is the home of slugs. Much more so than London. Just beware ☺️

I tend to grow things slugs don’t like. I adore delphiniums, all the blues. I think if the plants are large enough, the slugs leave them alone. But yes, brace yourself 😳
