How to protect a medium sized plum tree.

With a load of fleece, a little sister who can use a sewing machine, a couple of 8' garden canes with spikes in the ends and a couple of large nuts! (tied to the corners).

 All I have to do now is keep my fingers crossed the wind stays calm.  The contraption on the left is a bird table for the corvids, they don't like landing in our small garden.  I swivvel it level and pop food on with a cup on the end of the washing prop.            

Cheers,     Tony.

Very inventive Tony... both the fleece cover and the corvid bird table

Hope your nuts don't drop off.

It rather reminds me of a Chinese Lantern for some reason. Don't know why!

Very impressive; I did wonder what the contraption was until you explained the bird table!

If I see a massive flaming lantern in the sky, I'll know where it came from then

Our Hawthorn hedge is flowering... I'm sure this is about a month early for us??

This means no more frost.... but snow is forecast this week!!! so who is wrong then?
