New additions to the garden

[tennis_no_ko]

It was quite tragic. Over the last eight weeks, a huge amount of weeds built up in my garden and my tomatoes had the nerve to die on me. But thanks to Saeki-kun, I managed to replace them with some lovely begonias, in a shade I haven't seen before.

And does anyone know how to keep birds away from plants without hurting them? Most of the fruits on my strawberry plants were damaged by birds, though the plant itself still survives.

I am on a quest to try and convince Sanada to get one of these, but he is quite stubbornly traditional and refuses to give in, despite me bribing him with ginseng oolong tea.

And also, I got a sponsor request by Nike, so I'll be jetting off to America in a week to take part in a photo shoot and formalise the contract with them. It should be pretty fun. I believe that Maria Sharapova, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Serena Williams are all sponsored by Nike as well, so I'll be doing a photoshoot with them, most likely.

I can understand the hesitancy to get one of these things. It's so easy to be found by anyone and it's all rather daunting. But, that being said, if you do need anything else to try and bribe him, my deli usually has a nice selection of sweets and tea.

And well done on your sponsorship with Nike. Will you be wearing their attire during your tournaments?

Have you tried a scarecrow?

Congrats on the sponsorship, Buchou! :D I've been cheering you on whenever I catch up on tennis news.

Getting the birds to back off is easy. Take a few old CDs and hang them around the area. The sunlight flashing off of them will keep the birds away from your plants. ^_^ Here, like this (http://blog.pennlive.com/gardening/2009/03/medium_CD.on.blueberries.JPG)!
