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
