Birds!!!
Went up to the plot during the week to net the strawberries and raspberries etc and as i was leaving i noticed pea pods on the ground about 10 of them,done a Miss Marple and the birds where number one on the list,out with more net,checked the broad beans,yes, they had a visit here too,so did the currants as well.
Noticed next plot has cabbage leaves eaten that are not covered.So the pests are back for the year,the only things not covered are the potatoes,leeks,garlic and onions.
I saw my first nearly ripe raspberry i had thought they where a long way off,so its mine not the birdies.
Need to start feeding more,must write out a plan for it.At the moment its really only the poly every Saturday that gets feeding.But with squash moving fast and ALSO my leeks that i really want to look after this year.
Sweetcorn are loving the corner behind the poly,cut some more broccoli and it tasted lovely.Lefthand side of plot needS to be looked after this weekend,beans need to bE planted out as well as more broccoli and cabbages.
Put bigger net on carrots,hope they are alright.Going to plant carrots in poly this weekend.
Started of purple beans that i got in Organic Center.Going to start off some courgettes to put in tunnel for August to have a longer season.
