On the fenced off areas of the garden I've put down slug pellets and in areas that the rabbit or my son could get to I have set traps using tesco's finest value lager (81p for 4 cans! Amazing - I kind of wonder what it tastes like).
I didn't do much else today, I cut the grass and pulled up loads of creeping buttercup (which looks pretty as a posy). I didn't do anything about the roots. We are having a few days away and the rabbit will be on holiday too so I'm going to take advantage and begin chemical warfare when I know there will be a week without the bunny. I've bought some weed-feed-mosskiller for the grass and I have some gysopholate for the patio. I would like to be one of those gardeners that doesn't need chemicals but I don't have enough time to manage this without them.
Other than that I was pleased that my strawberries have recovered and my squash is starting to flower. Also, a foxglove has flowered unexpectedly which was nice.
I hope you are having a good long weekend too :)
