You can also extend their season by growing in a polytunnel or greenhouse. There are many, many different types, shapes and colours and they are generally not bothered about specific soil types or feeding. Slugs and snails like lettuce so you may have to use slug pellets, beer traps or other measures.

I don’t much care for slug pellets, but I do use them, sparingly, from time to time when it has been very wet. Beer traps work well, as do coffee beans, as they release emollient oils that the slugs don’t like, but the best I have found so far is Marmite. If you smear it around your pots or containers, slugs will not cross it because it is so salty, and you know what salt does to slugs and snails.
