Slugs, snails and vegetables

Oh dear ...

I have been using the terrible weather as an excuse to stay inside and do things in the house, trying to convince myself that we don't need to put the heating on yet. I am a fair weather gardener, so when it rains, as it mostly has this 'summer', I have let the weeds grow.

Today, however, the sun is shining and it's actually quite warm, so I ventured out to see how my veggies were doing. The verdict? Badly.

My sprouts are ravaged by slugs and snails, but it looks confined to the lower leaves (I remain hopeful)

The cauliflower seems to be an all round disaster

My tomatoes are green (but there are lots of them!)

The only small ray of hope is that the broccoli (both varieties) have started to show some signs of life ...
