Our Edible Backyard

Well, it would be an edible back yard if we could figure out how to keep the birds from eating our strawberries, blueberries and plums. This is a picture of one of our 8 blueberry bushes. Almost ready!

One of our plum trees. This was the first year we really had a good amount of plums, but we still haven’t eaten one yet. The birds always get to them first.

First of the ripe tomatoes! I remember the first home grown tomato I ever ate, a couple of years ago when I first started gardening, I called my Dad and said “It tastes NOTHING like the ones at the grocery store!” I couldn’t believe how delicious they were.

These guys are coming along. Big thanks to Peter for actually getting these guys in the ground. He has pretty much taken over the Cornais Family Farm and these are now “his” tomatoes. I love him for that!

    Hi Stephanie :)

    Love the blog. We had that problem with the birds too, until we bought a really fine netting that we put over the trees. The sun was able to get in and it kept the birds out. First time we were able to eat our peaches in three years :)

    We are going to have to do that next year. Where did you get the netting?
