Battle of the blackbird

I’m having daily battles with a little black bird. As fast as I plant something he/she decides to dig it up. I have 2 tomato plants so am going to plant them inside these cardboard containers the fruit was packed in. I’ll use some fresh potting soil. Wish me luck.

Spent the middle part of the day at Miss Traill’s House. We were catering for a bus tour of gardeners from Melbourne. We had 4 catering, 2 guides and 1 in the shop. Back again on Friday for another group.
