Having finished the weeding I had to find another job and spent an hour washing the windows and the car!
Everything is beginning to grow well in the veg garden and fill out. I love the allotment art of Chris Cyprus (do have a look at his web site) and I was pleased to see sonme pictures with some bird scaring bottles on sticks which is one thing I do. They rattle and vibrate. But my veg plot/allotment is never going to be as neat as those in the pictures. Besides the bottles, I have half a dozen sainsbury carrier bags tided to sticks - their bright orange fades after 3 weeks but they make a lovely rustling noise in the wind and seem to be keeping the pigeons and peasants off!!
Hoping for some showers this Friday just to bring a few things on in the garden.
I'm hoping for the rain, other wise I will have to get the hose out.
ReplyDeleteI've had to use a fleece on a few bits and pieces to keep the pesky birds from eating the leaves. The sparrows had a lovely feed on he beetroot leaves. I'm going to have to make some bird scarer's.
