Black Raspberry Starts

[sirgiovanni]

Tom W has first pick if he wants any starts. I have over a dozen easy.

After that, anyone that wants them, first come. Bring a small pot of dirt to protect the roots.

I need them out within a week or so to prevent rooting and I have a crazy schedule to coordinate. But please let Tom know if anyone talks to him and I'll post when the rest are available.

Sorry, meant daddy Glenn, he asked for them a while back. None for you Tom.

[Tom Wrinkles]

i didn't want your roots anyway Jimmy.

So this is crazy. Every year I get a bit more elaborate with creating a netting cage around the berries and it seems every year the birds become more ferocious in trying to defeat me.

I'm getting around a pound a day off my 12 plants right now so the birds are really working overtime trying to figure it out. I took out a rubber snake last night and set it up weaving in and out of the netting on one side of the containment. When I went out there today, there wasn't a bird within 20 fett of the berries, from any side!

They usually figure it out unless you move it around.

[sirgiovanni]

Thanks for the tip, I'll move it tonight! They're little monsters to be sure!

Sounds like a small loop recording of a snake hissing might be really in order?

[sirgiovanni]

With motion detectors!
So far so good though. Still no birds around and I got another pound last night.
Next year I think I'll get a couple more rubber snakes.

You need to get one of those chicken hawk screecher boxes like they use in the big walmart sign on the lloyd...

That's nice, it would take quite a few extension chords for me but i might set one hidden in my office when I'm on the road.
