Violent attack on innocent beans

I was worried that after yesterdays weather: severe gusts of wind, I'd go to my allotment & find it minus a greenhouse and severe damage to plants caused by the wind.

Instead I was met by carnage: the entire planting of beans (runners, French) and peas had been eaten by birds (probably pigeons). I only planted them last week :(

I was cross, no not cross livid, no not livid fuming! And I wasn't going to let these f*****g pigeons win. I vowed to plant more & not be defeated. The stalks that remained seemed to look like they might sprout but they wouldn't be strong plants, and so I went home & planted more.

1 tray (40 modules) of peas
42 French beans
12 runner beans

17th May: transplanting

Took afternoon off work to plant stuff and give it a good water, we've had a lot of dry warm weather recently.

Here's what's gone in/happened this week:
20 Swedes in
Potatoes earthed up
Harvested Cabbage
Purple beans in 12
Dwarf green beans in 8
Runner beans in 7
Peas in 1 row
Watered up & seeded paths. I seem to be growing masses of creeping buttercup, bloody annoying stuff, but in this dry weather you can pull it out (roots & all) fairly easily.

The plot's looking good, still plenty in the greenhouse at home, but looking better than last year.
