I do like Members Day at Chelsea but it's rather a lot to pay for the priviledge of buying a Tuesday ticket.

Dave has been busy in our garden too - he recycled an old window frame, to make a planting bed for his veggies and planted a big tub with seed potatoes. I also now have two pots of salads outside the back door - "cut and come again"! He's growing me some flower seedlings... we were debating about planting out the cornflowers, as they've gone mad, but the rest are too small just yet. <br />The tree pruners came in January and the pruned trees are looking good. And our plants on the new archway are going great guns (all except a clematis, which seems to have "wilt" and has gone floppy... we'll see if it recovers). <br />But you have done Loads in your garden - masses!! So impressed. It will be fab when it's all growing madly in the summer.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918211625453430621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-18506172957411878772012-04-24T04:48:43.088+01:002012-04-24T04:48:43.088+01:00I have problems with birds eating my peas too.

I have had two goes at establishing a bed with no success whatsoever so I might just have to accept the inevitable! I use the chicken fencing too. It works beautifully for the Light Sussex and the Welsummer and Barnevelder. I have two Frisian bantams and they are the world's best escaping chickens. Nothing seems to keep them in including clipping their wings!Elizabeth Musgravehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09473705107636868753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-61364267547818954072012-04-22T10:32:46.236+01:002012-04-22T10:32:46.236+01:00I am hanging my head in shame reading this.

I made a few last year with some ribbon I have and some foil ironed between clingfilm and they kept a field of buckwheat seeds free of the blessed birds. We had not had pigeons around our land at all until we planted a field of buckwheat and we haven't seen them since we put up the prayer flags either. You have to look hard but these are mine in action and they were sufficient to keep the pigeons off http://thejourneytosomewhere.blogspot.com/2011/06/first-glut-of-year.htmlJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013060781688432165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-70984915189637724082012-04-20T11:49:20.461+01:002012-04-20T11:49:20.461+01:00Crikey, you have been busy.
