Me Against The Animal Kingdom
May 20, 2008
Well, the posts for the netting are going in on Thursday, and the crows will be defeated. Ha!
So of course today I found a place where the pea netting I use for support had been munched through, which means a rabbit has got in.
Make your bloody minds up! It’s like they’re taking turns to thwart me. I’ve never been an animal lover*, so could this be payback time? If so, I’m sorry!! Just leave me alone to grow a few flowers! Is that too much to ask?
On a more positive note, I started the mower today! I am invincible! (You listening, rabbits?)
By the way, when I look at this site on some computers it’s a hideous bright green, but on mine it’s a much nicer olivey colour. What’s the verdict? Leave me your comments, please.
*The lovely Hercules excepted – he was a dingo, but soft as anything and with a marked preference for broccoli over babies.

Jan,
You think you have problems, the Rooks are pulling up our broad bean plants!! I have no netting but i have a gun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The problem is these birds are up before me.
Hope your netting is as successful as A.Sue’s pea sticking and string.
Hope you enjoyed our apple juice/cider?
When are you taking over from Monty Don on Gardeners World?

I am writing this on May Bank Holiday Monday. It does not look very much like May, I’m afraid. Hope you are not trying to garden today! I am glad you have, hopefully, defeated the crows/rooks. Congratulations on starting the mower, let’s hope you avoided the wooden stakes this time so Ted could have five minutes’ peace.
Yes, on my computer the green background is a fairly alarming colour, but now you have told me it is supposed to be a tasteful olive colour I will just imagine it like that!
Good gardening,
From, the very unwise amigo, Jane
