Making the most of Spring on our Narrowboat // Home cooked Meals and Planting the Vegetable Plot
Without a doubt, late spring is one of the best times to live on a narrowboat. This week, we're celebrating the season with some home cooked food using the first pickings from our on board herb garden. Plus, we're getting to grips with our outside space and giving everything a much needed spring spruce.

    I’ve just got up to date with your videos. It’s been a real joy to see how you’ve progressed from starting your work on Arti, having Jo, and developing your allotment. Be reassured that your problem with slugs and snails is not unique. This year has been exceptionally bad for them! I’m so impressed with the quality of your Vlogs, but often wonder how much more you could get done it you didn’t have all of the work preparing the shots and editing. I’m so glad that you do though 😊

    If you put out a damp board, propped up a little, snails and slugs will congregate under the board. Then you can dispose of them as you choose.

    I love watching your videos. I have some advice although it may come too late. You should never be quiet for a sleeping baby. Inutero is very noisy and they are use to that. I think the quiet is what wakes them. I use to vacuum and use washer and and dryer and she slept through it all. Maybe give it a try.

    Sorry to say, copper tape is a waste of time and money, yes I have tried it. Good luck with the green house, water and feed the tomatoes and you should have a good crop. You can never have too many tomatoes, later in the season when they've stopped ripening, make green tomatoe chutney.
