    I had to tighten-up security on the outside test toms.

    The Moonlight apples have peck-holes.

    Time to mummy-wrap tree.

    The other tree had even more ruined apples:

    And now the ghostly security measures become a bizarre spectacle:

    When we picked up our donation for the food Bank this morning, one of the footpaths were strewn with merel (blackbird) feathers. One less picker, although I do like them.

    Annie— wot is a “could of cats”? Haha.
    Well, I am sure those tjiff-tjaffs have their place in Nature, but I cannot have this unbridled wast of my crops. The nets seem the best option. BTW, there is a feral cat that patrols the lotties. We call him, “Bart Black”. See this: https://www.gardenstew.com/threads/a-mish-mash-thread.44732/#post-425331
