I would also like to get my vegetable plots under control. ...

Well the first part was achieved - I'm still here. The 'garden' wilderness though is as bad/worse than ever. But I've had an ample, and continuing supply of beetroot, potatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, peas, courgettes, cucumber and tomatoes now at last. Hopefully will get a good crop of tomatoes, just 8kg so far though.

The wood pigeons/squirrels and may be crows now are getting more voracious than ever on the fruit side:

Plums, damsons, cherries:none  plums is wood pigeons, cherries is squirrels
Pears, about 3 on 6 trees.  mainly wood pigeons but some squirrels
Apple katy, most stollen/eaten. probably pigeons, crows and squirrels
Early raspberries lots eaten and plants damaged by squirrels mainly.

Picking raspberries now and harvested lots of black/red currants, strawberries and gooseberries.

Crops still in the ground are parsnips, carrots leek and some brassicas.  I need to find somewhere to plant out garlic now for next year.
