Haven't planted any seeds yet:blush: I'm always a bit late ,as it seems, is my neighbour who was planting her potatoes yesterday ....'earlies' a bit too late if you see what I mean
We too have very noisy birds nesting just under the guttering.Some(I think sparrows)have cleverly made a nest out of twigs and sheeps wool.Unfortunately,they have left one long,dangley bit of wool with a large twig attached to it which rapps noisily against the landing window.I daren't pull it off in case the whole nest comes away.I think they are sparrows anyway,but judging by the size of the twig,I wonder if crows are hiding there!8)

Hi Alwin,
Didn't think of using scissors did I?duuurrr!:blink:
Do you use beer traps for the slug problem?we had terrible slugs at my last place,they hoovered eveything so I used beer traps,at least they died happy.
From what I've heard you can get male and female cucumbers and the males have a bit rougher,tough skin with small prickles and taste bitter so maybe your neighbour gave you some blokish cucumbers?best to bin those!

Ha!ha! bigsis,I can just picture slugs with chocolate cravings.....oh,no that's not good...

Alwin,I managed to chop off dangly bit of wool from nest with scissors!,without even toppling out the window I have been trying to work out what type of bird could carry such big twigs up to that nest and was quite excited(strange,I know) to see a big,fluffy ,spotty bum poking up from it yesterday . I think it's a thrush!?!do they next under the eaves?eaves?is that the right word?I'm not up on house bits.The nest is so close to the window that we should be able to see the babies being fed soon.Just hope my evil cat leaves them alone,
