With the summer sun and temperatures ever on the rise, it's the growing season at last. And we're taking every opportunity to grow all kinds of fruits and vegetables in our yard. But, whether you take the time to learn how to grow tomatoes from seeds, or how to prune grapevines, there's one unwelcome visitor that often pays a visit just when your plant is ready to harvest.
Birds are a lovely sight on most days — they are part of a healthy yard, keeping all kinds of pests at bay. In fact, if your yard lacks birds, you're likely attracting rats and mice without knowing it. But, birds can become quite destructive where your plants offer a delicious meal, or even where they get in the way of one. Fresh, upturned soil can offer an abundance of insects, and with seedlings often nearby, birds won't hesitate to peck around.
