Whilst we've avoided any actual gardening on the allotment we've shown a continued interest because even us shirkers know that from allotments come home-grown vegetables and with home-grown vegetables come barbeques and with barbeques come parties! So when we heard that greedy pigeons were munching their way through all the yummy veg we had our eye on we felt it was time for action. We needed the scariest of scarecrows to keep those pesky birds at bay but not being the designing types thought we'd organise a competiton for kids to design one. If you're interested in having a go you need to be part of Duchy Originals Garden Organic for Schools ( a charity project that helps children learn to grow veg) and make sure you've entered your design by July 18th. If you win not only will we use your hair-raising, pest-repelling design but you'll be the proud owners of a Wiggly Wigglers beehive compost bin too. Get your scary thinking caps on now.
