Every year we plant a garden and always get tons of delicious juicy tomatoes. There’s nothing better than a red ripe tomato and we sure do enjoy them. This year birds are eating up our tomatoes like they never have before.
So many of them look like this with the center eaten away.
So now we have a fence to keep out the rabbits and netting to keep out the birds. I tied on some plastic bags and aluminum plates in an effort to keep away the pests. Along with the lack of rain, crunchy dead looking grass and intruders in the garden the whole yard looks pretty bad. How do you keep pest out of your garden?
I am at my daughter’s house watching Mia and helping her move into a friend’s rental house while their new home is being built. I hope to take some pictures of the model house to share. She’s lucky to have a friend that will rent to them on a short term basis but it’s hard knowing that you have to move twice. ugh, don’t you hate moving?
I didn’t have time to work on a Friday feature this week but it will be back next week. Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks for visiting! Debbie (((xx)))
Do you suppose the birds are thirsty? Perhaps if they had some water, they’d leave the tomatoes alone. I’ve never seen anything like that before. The worst pests this year are the Japanese beetles, which I wind up picking off morning and night. It’s a nasty job, but someone’s got to do it. Hope that your daughter doesn’t mind moving as much as we mind it for her. That really is a nasty job.
I wonder if the birds are into the tomatoes more this year because it has been so dry and that is a source of moisture to them? Looks like you have quite a barricade set up there. You could add an armed guard and store your jewels there, too!
Moving IS awful. I don’t dare tell you how many times I have moved over the years….lets say more than 18 and less than 20…..xo Diana
