HIGHER MORWELL GARDEN DIARY
6th June 2016
Rabbits and deer. Both have been helping themselves to the plants in the garden over the past few days. The dark red smoke bush has had all its leaves eaten and even one of the thorny pyracantha bushes has lost its lower foliage. We’ve started putting wire fences around the plants and spraying more animal repellant on them. The new polytunnel should be a safe haven for the tender vegetables. We hope!
Culprit caught on the webcam at 0455 in the morning. They are marvellous to watch but eat anything green at around their head height, so the new fruit trees and the Joseph Rock sorbus planted last year have all suffered recently.
