Well, I'm starting a new garden and stuff has sprouted and things
seem to be going well. But I am apprehensive about my tomatoes.
I live in a very rural area and there are LOTS AND LOTS of birds,
including crows the size of owls..... I am sure these critters
love tomatoes, figs, and grapes........

So, I am considering putting up a scarecrow.

Has anyone here had experience with scarecrows and would
you be willing to pass along any tips and techniques on making
it effective ?

Thanks for your informed advice....
