SO...yesterday the wind blew over part of the anti-chicken barrier around one of my 7'x4' beds and the chickens got in. By the time we got home thay had devoured everything. cauliflowers, kale, psb, salad leaves, chard, beetroots, celery, all gone. After bursting into tears I dragged DH to homebase in deperation but left nothing but a teeny pot of rainbow chard after having been scared off by their prices (£4 for 6 cauliflower plants anyone?).
And the most infuriating thing is that that was my favourite bed. It looked so gorgeous with all its lovely colours. I have 4 spare psb, 4 purple kale and that's it. They also managed to eat all my spare chard and cauliflowers.So now I would love some advice as to what I can plant now to take over the space in that bed. I have never come so close to toe-punting my chickens round the garden as I did yesterday. Advice (and any spare seedlings from people in Leeds) would be greatly (and gratefully) appreciated.
