The two small plants do not have enough fruit yet to bother. Here in the eastern U.S. if we use fine netting we quite often have snakes get tangled in it. So far (30+ years) we have never had a poisonus snake and are very glad for the black snakes as they help keep down mice, shrews and ground squirrels. It is a two person job to get a tangled snake loose, one to hold the snake and the other to wield the scissors and ruin the net.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13752716497178206096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-62234179281619864922017-07-01T19:40:55.269+01:002017-07-01T19:40:55.269+01:00We have had the same experiences with blueberries ...We have had the same experiences with blueberries and balackbirds. Blueberries, strawberries and redcurrants are the fruits tha we always make sure we cover in good time. I noticed today that some of our blueberries are read to be picked, maybe a job for tomorrow.Sue Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164518448098182276noreply@blogger.com
