I've been watching the birds in the garden this morning, we get a good variety and they've been busy visiting the feeders as we had snow last night, very unexpected as it hadn't been forecast. Thank goodness it's thawing though now. I was in Wilkinsons yesterday and noticed that they've got their seed potatoes in, not long now until another growing season starts.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-21377411846985661922016-01-15T10:43:49.841-08:002016-01-15T10:43:49.841-08:00I agree H.V, apparently has the least number of tr...I agree H.V, apparently has the least number of trees in the whole of the EU.

If it lasted a week I'd be happy, but three months is too long! I agree with Lynda D - the wild birds must be confused about what they are allowed to eat! In these circumstances, the fruit cage seems like the only reasonable option. I always net my Blueberries because birds absolutely love them.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448820564852330128.post-42717333347468011322016-01-14T18:28:11.593-08:002016-01-14T18:28:11.593-08:00I would love to cover my entire veggie patch in an...I would love to cover my entire veggie patch in an enclosed wire fenced yard. Those bloody birds are eating my tomatoes at the moment. Here you are encouraging them with bird seed - make up your mind! That is one big parsnip. Thank goodness Christmas is over.
