With the Christmas Decorations still up, we’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

Our Christmas wreath benefited from a tip on Gardeners’ Question Time.  This was to cover up holly bushes to protect the berries from marauding pigeons, if you want some for decorations.  Admittedly the bush looked a bit daft with one of our brassica nets slung over it, but it was worth putting up with that for a couple of weeks, in exchange for a profusion of berries for decorations.

Wreath – With holly!

The protection is now off the bush and the pigeons have nearly stripped it.
