Pests 26/07/2011


So as nothing is really happening at the plot except everything getting bigger and fatter and more excellent. 
So I thought I'd mention our counter terrorism measures, against the ongoing threat of PIGEONS! 
I have to be honest I thought it was slugs at first causing havoc but I have been assured that this swede  damage is classic pigeon. Notice the leaves stripped leaving only the spine of the leaf, whereas slugs aren't so picky...


We have therefore resorted to a swede tent to keep our lovelies protected. 
A few pea sticks and some net and the pigeons are foiled!


We also harvested some of the smaller (!?!) beetroot to leave space for the others to grow!
All exciting stuff...
Matt
