Okay this is gonna sound weird but I was told if you put CD disc on fishing line hanging like chimes over what ever you don't want the birds to eat they will stay away. It seems the silver disc reflects their image and scares them away as the breeze blows them about hey it is worth a try. I plan on trying it above the dogs dish on the back patio for they eat the dry dog food all the time. And boy can they eat WOW! I'm gonna try that too! I've got the same problem with birds eating my dogs food! They also eat the blooms off my tomato and jalapeno plants! UGH!

I added some canteloupe to my garden and I also added a sweet 100 cherry tomato in a pot beside the garden. I already have 3 other kinds of tomatoes in the garden. OH and I got my first little grape tomatoes showing!

Wow!! We planted only a few days apart and your plants are at least 2x the size of mine. Well done, well done indeed.
