One of our allotment neighbour told us a few days ago that pigeons are quite a nuisance around here, so today I built some bird scarer with some old hard disks. Let's hope they resist the wind.
I also planted some of my tomatoes, the ones that were the biggest. I grew them from seeds. My dad told me to used shredded nettles as a fertiliser at the bottom of the hole, so I did as i was told. I am planning of doing some nettle tea too to water and spray them with. Apparently it fortifies them and also keep them disease free (doesn't act on blight though)
I'm growing three varieties. From left to right on the photo below: 'Gardener's delight', an old favourite (cherry tomato), then two 'Morden yellow', as it names says, they are yellow tomatoes (got the seeds at a seed swap) and right is a Tomato 'Alicante', a medium size red tomato. It was rather windy tonight so let's hope that the tomato plants will resist and do better than my courgette Cavili F1 plant who was destroyed by the wind, or my impatience to put it in the ground while it was too young.... I shall sow another seed in a pot, as it is not too late...
