Tomato Tip to Thwart Birds!

TOMATO TIP

“I put decoys out well before my tomatoes begin to ripen. Big, red Christmas ornaments hanging here and there among my tomato plants. Birds will see those pretty red balls and think they are about to get a tasty meal. But all the peck, peck, pecking gets them nowhere. They might try several of them over a period of days until they figure out that there is nothing worth eating in THIS garden!”
– CINDY AT PINEYWOODS HERB FARM

We found this great tip on thwarting birds from eating your tomatoes on the organic-sustainable-natural.com blog! What a great idea! We wonder if it will work against those pesky squirrels too.
