I noticed recently that the purple sprouting broccoli was beginning to get a darned good beaking from the local pigeon population. I have a series of mesh covered frames that surround the strawberries in the summer to keep the blackbirds' beaks off. I moved these to the broccoli patch and brought back a couple more from the allotment. They will now allow the hearts of the plants, already forming, to fill out ready for the dinner plate.Yum!
