We do not seem to have many worms, the few that we do have are encouraged as they are good for the soil. To that end we have put netting over the Root Bed (celeriac, leeks, beetroot carrots and parsnips, if the parsnips ever decide to germinate,) in an effort to slow down the blackbirds from pecking up our precious worms. Blow me, this morning there is this.....
A mole hill!
Which means that under the ground is a little brown fellow digging AND eating my worms from below.The mole is only doing what he is supposed to do, but really?
It did not help when I went to plant a spaghetti squash and the plant just disappeared down into a mole tunnel running under where I want the plant to grow. Plants do not grow when their roots are surrounded by air.
I also picked peas. We are not going to end world hunger with these, they were yummy, but, I think eating the pods earlier as mange tout is more useful.
On a more productive side strawberry season is beginning!
