Hey! Beautiful blog! I am jealous of your apparently slug-free garden. We have a slug invasion, here, and about 90% (no I'm not exaggerating) of the seedlings are stolen, along with some larger prey, like 2-foot tall asiatic lilies cut down like trees, and (last year) pumpkins bored through with inch-wide holes in multiple places...
By comparison I think your garden is paradise, and I commend you, both for your efforts and for your photography.
And... thank you for linking to me! (whoever you are...)
Looks great! I'm growing sun gold & brandywine too.
