Unlucky or what ?

Feeling sad:-(( I had an accident last Thurs (26th) and broke my wrist ! Luckily it was my left one as I am right handed but am finding it very difficult to do the most simple things…. one plus is that I managed to do quite a lot of jobs the week before while I was on holiday so the rest must wait until I get the cast off 23rd Aug.
Just a few pics of slug , snail and ant damage which is finally growing again and the border I have started to replant after moving my plastic greenhouse. My new helpers too :-))

Sorry to hear about your wrist, hope all will soon be well again. The slug and ant damage is such a nuisance isnt it. I should move the grass I think.

Hopefully you,ll get used to doing things one handed fora while

Sorry you have this to contend with, remember to elevate it as much as you can, helps to stop the fingers swelling, especially on hot days. Sadly you are not alone with stripped plants, I have lost quite a few too. Ants like dry conditions if you keep that grass damper hopefully they will not settle there.

Hope the wrist okay after cast removed. This year has been the worse I have known for slug damage, strange but hardly any snails. I believe there are a species of slug that feed on other slugs. Just wish I could find some as for the ants, going by the size of their hills they must be related to moles.

Thanks to you all for your good wishes and hopefully the next 3+ weeks will pass quickly :-) I am retiring from work at the end of Aug and with a sick note for 5wks it means I don't have to return !! All your advice is gratefully received....

Sorry about your wrist - frustrating not to be able to do things. My lobelias have suffered exactly as yours during this last week while I was in hospital; before that they were looking really strong and healthy. Isn't it upsetting? Hope your wrist heals well.

Hope the wrist heals well! Showering with a taped-on plastic bag can be fun! I speak from experience!
