    Hello every one

    What a useful app this is had lots of advice in a very short time. Our plot is exposed to the winds and wild animals, This is my third year as a veg gardener, been doing ok with the brassicas but not so well will the carrots and leeks. We have 4 raised beds with a variety of soils one bed is very stoney and heavy. A pheasant is roaming around at the moment not sure if it will eat the plants. We also have flower beds by the river.


    Thanks Janet

    Beautiful but challenging, I guess, the Hope Valley.

          They mostly eat grains, so you might be OK. Woodpigeons, however, will eat your plants, esp peas & brassicas

                Hello, from windy Suffolk, Janet.

                We, too, have pheasants visit the garden but we don't grow veg at home. We also get pigeons, ducks, rabbits and moles, to name a few, and one year I even had the pleasure of a couple of partridges.
