cages!

this year we have been obsessed with building cages.  actually, the issue first came up with our fruit as last year birds got to our cherry tree and our blueberries, so the idea was that if we were going to craft some kind of cage for the blueberries especially then we would need the right material, and after a night of surfing the web we ended up investing in massive sheets of netting (4m x 5m), after seeing how big this netting was I couldn't believe that we had been messing around with such small nets that never really did the job for so long ... i give you the cages of 2015

the brassica cage:

our purple sprouting broccoli cage:

 

and our corn, before cage: 

 

and after cage:

last year birds stripped our corn, but this year they are well defended!
