alfred is on duty

This is Alfred the plastic owl.He is now on duty on a full time basis to keep those minor birds away.I have come down to my little patch to find my 5 tomato had been attacked by minor birds.I also suspect they are eating the strawberries also.
So far the total harvest weight is a massive 215 grams (just some runner beans and spinach),but the rest of the plants are starting to flower and i am very hopeful of some great vegies very soon.I would love to produce about 50 kilos of food from my little patch in the first year so i still have a long way to go and because i am new to vegie growing i am not sure if this is possible in such a small space.
I would love to find people around Wollongong who have the same idea as me and would be happy to swap ideas and vegies with anyone who thinks that we all need to start helping each other to produce our own food and live more like a community and not the "must have it now" society we have become.So anyone who is intrested please send me an email on this blog.
happy vegies
