    Apples doing well, but at the moment its the starlings that are getting the benefit.
    Every afternoon they mass in the trees, and wait to all fly off together, but before that they all have a peck at my apples.

    We have starlings.......... everywhere.
    They mass on the rooves and the trees, its like Hitchcocks "The Birds" every afternoon, the noise is deafening.
    Then suddenly, they all fly off as if a signal has been given. [​IMG]

    Hey Pete, I'd be inclined to drape some netting over those apples, sod feeding Starlings, they scavenge enough this time of year without letting them at the good stuff.

    Kathy - I love poppies and this red one is a real eye-catcher. I've never had any real luck with poppies, mores the pity. But then I am lucky with other plants, so I guess it evens out, doesn't it?
