    A few sheep managed a foray into the orchard and had a good nibble on the lower branches of fruit trees, which I think will recover, but not sure whether I should now cut the damaged sections off or leave them . Sadly they also had a pretty good go at a newly planted small magnolia, which has very few leaves left. What do people think it's chances are?

    Hard to say without pics but they could survive.

    Nightmare, farmer used to hurl his sheep into my garden in Wales, they saw gardens as a "wicked waste of grazing"

    I'd trim up the fruit trees to try to lessen the chances of fungal infection.

    My garden is surrounded by sheep fields. One side of the house only has a small wall which I'm sure with a leap and a bound sheep could well be helping themselves to my garden. I can't repeat to you what I say to my wife when I see her feeding them bread over the wall :gaah:
