It gets worse, not only the big pots at the back door half empty this morning, there was total devastation on the lower terrace.
We thought we’d fixed the tomatoes when we installed a motion activated light that seems to keep the invaders away. In fact it’s just directed them elsewhere.
I’ve been out in my nightwear restoring order with extra compost, a little slow release feed and a good watering in the hope the plants will recover. Nothing to say the beasts won’t be back of course.
Giovanni said he sets his alarm for 3 am and gets up to check his vegetables are safe. He added that really this is the animals territory and we are the invaders. He is a better person than me I’m just cross and very hot after this mornings work.
Oh crikey, those wild animals party worse than humans - are you sure there’s nothing in that slow release feed that’s making them spin?
ReplyDeleteOh dear, not again! Are the animals looking for food? Maybe you could leave them something more tasty so that they leave your pots alone..........or maybe they would just invite their friends as well.
ReplyDeleteJust relax and get into the groove.
ReplyDeleteAre you getting the very hot weather that we are getting? Could that be anything to do with it?
ReplyDeleteIt must be so frustrating to find this happening night after night.
