I've got a little bit of room left in our veg plot so had a look to see
what veg seed can still be sown in July. Chard could be an option but
I've never tried growing it before. Are pigeons generally any problem?

We get wood pigeons nesting in neighbours' conifers and by autumn there
are usually flocks of the dratted things congregating. They don't seem
to bother with my beetroot, but we have to put up a netted frame over
the broccoli, otherwise they'd strip the lot and I don't want to give
them a nice juicy alternative.
