Pigeons ate my broccoli! Again!
My broccoli is (was) almost ready to start harvesting and I was looking forward to eating the first shoots sson. I was eating breakfast this morning and, looking out of the window, I noticed that two pigeons had landed on top of the net protecting my broccoli plants; the net had bent under their weight and they were happily pecking away at the plants. The worst of it was that there was nothing I could do about it; I had no stronger taller stakes to hold the net up with, and I had to go to work and leave them to eat my broccoli I went to B&Q before coming home and got some stakes and put them up. But every year the pigeons have found some way of getting at my broccoli at some stage in the proceedings, so it's entirely possible they'll find another way to get at them. I'd managed to keep them away so far and they're the strongest, biggest broccoli plants I've ever grown. Now all their top leaves and shoots have been stripped off. Just once, could I have one year growing broccoli without the pigeons getting to it at some stage? Does anyone have a falcon I could borrow? Rhiannon |
