It seems that no matter how hard you try to keep pests out of the garden, they always manage to get the upper hand. I had moved my birdbath into the backyard, and the birds have been coming in droves and keeping down the bug population. They completely got rid of the aphids on my tomato, cucumber, and potato plants. However, in payment for their services, the mockingbirds have decided to help themselves to a couple of my bright red tomatoes.
All in all, it is a small price to pay to have naturally organic vegetables growing. I have 12 tomato plants which are already giving us tons of tomatoes, so I can spare a few for the mockingbirds.
