Sugar snap protection.
« on: May 10, 2023, 08:44 »
Some of my recently planted snaps have been attacked by a blackbird.  :mad: How can I protect the rest and those sown directly in the ground which should germinate shortly. They have an inverted V frame with clematis netting to climb up and can't think of anything that I can put on each side of each leg of the V.
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

Try rigging up a 'pup tent' of plastic netting over the pea row. If your pea trellis is alreadg in place, the tent will also need to enclose the trellis.

Can you put a netting tunnel between the plants and the V frame, or rest fleece on top of the plants? Sparrows love pea shoots too!
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
