sweetcorn problems

[bubblewrap]

Most of the sweetcorn vanished!!!!!? from our lotties overnight last year.
NOT squirels or rats but local kids (8 foot fence made no difference)
Made request to council for watch towers & razor wire!

Braised local kid? Local kid soup? Barbequed local kid? All sound good to me!

It was adult tea leaves that nicked half our sweetcorn amongst other items.Even though they were seen removing stuff off the lotties police did nothing as usual!!!

Typical the police doing nothing. Sometimes it make you think shall you bother growing food if some other sod is going to whip it.

Wow Alice,
just read the poem and some of the other writings in your link. Really wonderful. I teach parents and think this may go into my teaching folder to share with them. I provide parenting courses for parents of troubled kids. This would be great.
Should i have planted my corn by now? Haven't done yet. but got concerned when ianb had planted and lost his.
'Thought of a quote which might fit this - better to have planted and lost than to have never planted at all!...."
