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!
Thanks! Yah i usually grow most of this indoors in a greenhouse but the heat this year has been rough so I thought I’d try something different. Yah they had left the seeds alone and were munching on the new shoots, careful to leave just a single stem remaining but picking off all the new shoots/leaves. Oh well thanks for the reply.
