One day, we may have a fruit cage. Till then, I am bandaging thin fleece (the pound shop again) like gauze around my cherry tree and my blackcurrant bush against the depredations of the pigeons.
One day, we may have some handy plastic cloches. Till then, I pile grass cuttings around my new potatoes thus poultice their frost damaged ends.
One day, we may have moth traps to waft seductive scents under the antennae of the codling moths and entice them to a sticky end.
One day I will buy beer for the slugs.
One day, I will don latex gloves and squash every single grub of the Asparagus Beetle.
This week, I have noticed the blackfly on the tips of the broad beans and cut them off.
