Greetings, I recently started a new raised bed in the yard out of old galvanized metal roof panels I had laying around as I ran out of room in the greenhouse’s. Planted some leafy greens such as Vates Blue Scotch Kale and Black Simpson lettuce. Seedlings just started to come out and I was impressed with how quickly the Cardinals came out to mow them all down. I put a quick screen over it for now to give the seedlings a chance, but man, wasn’t expecting that so quick. Anybody else run into that situation as well? Do they eventually let up once the plants mature a bit? Thanks for reading and Cheers!
Interesting. I’ve never had problems with my greens seedlings. Though we don’t have many cardinals around here. Are they the only bird that you’ve seen for after them?
Thanks for the comment! Cardinals are the only ones that i have caught, we have plenty of finches and sparrows that frolic around, but I haven’t caught any of them in the bed or greenhouse’s before grabbing seedlings. The screen seems to be holding up so far and working… 😀
