Fruit cage

Having taken the trouble to nurture my fruit bushes  and keep the ground weed free, I'd really like to enjoy the fruit. Sadly, over the last few years the birds have beaten me to it, so I ordered a fruit cage to protect them (the bushes that it, not the birds). This weekend Number Two Son and his partner were visiting, so the task of erecting the cage fell to them. They did a wonderful job and got it finished apart from the door, which they couldn't do as some of the parts were missing.



Fingers crossed now for some fruit.

I never had any luck with my plants. Though I never took much care of them.

I hope your cage works out! My husband has started to grow some vegetables this year with only moderate success. But he's enjoying the process so I guess that's the important part.

Oh yae! Yae! Yae! That cage looks absolutely fabulous! My mother would like to have something like that for her orchids, I'm sure. I'm wondering what kind of fruit bushes those are. Raspberries? Yumm..
