Hurry up with Those Nets!

I wrote the other day that I was hoping the Strawberries would finish fruiting before the Blueberries ripened, so that I could use my home-made fruit-cage for both. Fat chance! The Blueberries have decided that they will not wait. The copious rain of recent days has made them swell enormously and at the rate they are going I will have to net them within the next few days.





I think the Blueberries may actually be ripe BEFORE the Strawberries:

I shall have to see what I can find in the shed. I know I have plenty of netting, but the biggest challenge will be to find something suitable to support it. Last year I cobbled together this contraption, using parts of the "Seedling Greenhouse" along with some of the "Build-a-Ball" kit.

But then last year I covered the Strawberries with netting draped over the frames of the mini-greenhouses, which is why most of the "Build-a-Ball" set was available. Maybe this time the roles will just be reversed...
