Especially about the kids harvesting it... My nieces did something similar in my aunts garden - they harvested al the blackcurrants while still green.

Especially with the tomatoes! @6000: Actually, my mother-in-law's Windows 95 CD. And we all know Windows has all sorts of problems with worms and other viruses! @Terri: I'll have my online organic shop up and running soon! You should be growing mangoes and pineapples! @u/Clive: Can't wait for the new season to start! @PJ: Good idea with the goldilocks. Especially with the tomatoes!

Playing it can also keep the pests away, although your lattuce tends to get LangArmed on. I like the way you smashed an Afrikaans Sommer Treffers CD for good luck.

I have also started spraying the diluted worm tea over the plants and it seems to be helping. One of the other things I have heard besides the egg shells is if you place one of those "goldilocks" dishscrubers (open it up) around the plant the slugs and things can't climb over it. My husband has just dug up my herb garden to build a braai. I am going to have to try and replant some of them next to my veggies (which are just scattered through the rest of the garden. Good luck with your garden. I will am going to give that recipe a go – thanks.
