Prepared a raised bed, placed potted peas in bed. Made a 3ft frame with
1"x 1"x 4ft wooden stakes then strung the stakes in all directions. Surrounded frame with fleece and top cover with fleece secured by drawing pins.
When peas matured, took fleece top off then a few weeks later reduced sides to half hight.
This kept the birds off and gave an exellent early crop concidering I live on the North East coast.
I am going to try this next year for Carrots as companion planting with Onions, Marigolds and Shallots did'nt do so well.
All the best to all
