Why?


Don't know about anyone else, but the number of pigeons strutting
around my garden is very annoying this year. *the cherry tree will
need netting in a week or two. *:-(


Do pigeons go for gooseberries as well? There are a pair of stupid looking
fat birds hanging around in the garden and I'm wondering if they're waiting
for my cherished first gooseberry crop to ripen. I'll be heartbroken if they
all get stolen.

Here outside Swansea we have had a few heavy showers but the wind has
been around 45MPH gusting to just over 55MPH according to met office,
lits of leaves and twigs off and bigger bits of dead wood, and would
you believe it a team from the council are cutting overhanging
branches along the lane, on a day lke this.
I want it dry and calm as I have to rotavate in the weed seedlings
that are starting to show then I've got a couple of hundred meters of
fabric mulch to get down to plant the dahlias through.
