It would appear that some little pest has been munching on our brassicas. On first inspection, we thought that it was slugs and snails. However, the extent of the damage and the telltale droppings suggest our vegetable assassin is of the winged variety. So the question is how do we stop the pigeons!!
The best option is probably going to be netting, though the children quite fancy the idea of making scarecrows so we may go for a 'belt and braces' option.
Unperturbed by the damage to our current crops, the children got on with sowing some rocket and radishes. They also topped up the potato tubs with what remained of the compost stockpile. At the rate the potato plants are growing, we will need to buy in some more compost very soon.
