For Laurieuk I suggest planting some small sage plants between the onions then when you catch the pheasant it will be pre-stuffed with sage & onion stuffing. ;D
do pigeons rootle about for worms or are they so suburbanised they only eat fish'n'chips'pizza these days?
Pigeons do not occupy this ecological niche but prefer grains berries and greens. Currently in the South, pigeons are busy eating emerging buds from certain trees and ivy berries where there are any left that they can reach. Once the trees canopy is open the allotments will come back under attack with early peas, broad beans, salad and cabbage taking the brunt.
Slugs adore onions and the warm wet week we have just had has brought them all out hungry.
