Fruits of a spring Labor in my garden....tonight we ate scrumptious freshly picked, plump, summer berries with cream....
how i love the summer and all the fresh produce that you can pick from your own garden..mind you i have to work to get it...the wild starlings and blackbirds LOVE my home-grown produce as well..so i have to cover all the berries and seedlings (until they get a good start that is) with nylon netting to keep them out...they still find a way to get in but at least i don't lose my whole crop ...only a few berries go to the game little scoundrels who push their way under it.... haven't got the heart to wring their necks when i catch them to let them out of the netting...if i could i would and hang them on the netting as a warning to the other would be marauders who would steal my fruit...
Live and let live they say...but does that mean i have to feed them as well????
They look delicious Annette! Hope all is well with you both.... hope to see you sometime soon.... 2013 is looking good :))
ReplyDeleteYes those Jolly black birds make a mess of the berries alright.. We are putting up chook wire over ours .. Not many blue berries this time , not sure why..
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your delious harvest , well done :))
What a wonderful harvest!! I lose a lot of my figs to the birds as well even though we have netting over the tree too. Sneaky buggers!!
