I just came in from helping my tomatoe flowers put out more fruit.
Everytime I see a picture of your and Mrs. Bender’s garden, I envy you. Your gardens look so productive and you have done so much to improve everything. I’ve noticed you use a lot of wire over some of your produce. To keep out critters and birds?
How do you “help your tomatoe flowers put out more fruit?” With an electric toothbrush? (That’s what a local tomato farmer around here told me to do for better pollination.)
I use some I” welded wire bent to form a triangle (A Frame) to protect the seedlings from the Quail and birds wandering through the garden. I’ll post another photo latter of the cages that protect our strawberries from various critters. Gotta run...
No, he told us last year that is to keep out his first wife -- the blueberry thief. But, I think he was just pulling our chains. His first wife is his only wife, and she bakes him pies, and other delicacies, with those blueberries. But, that has got to be the most magnificent cage I've ever seen.
