Just to make it easier to water the other plants on the windowsill. About 75cm across. The slugs had it down to the bare stumps in less than a week.Patnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-61322412002880301212010-08-15T08:43:18.992-07:002010-08-15T08:43:18.992-07:00Hmm, I don't think it warrants a national holi...Hmm, I don't think it warrants a national holiday.
