[Hyacinth Bucket]

Cabo I feel disheartened. We left TV with so many tiny lemons and oranges on the trees that we bought an electric juicer, we saw we were going to get a bumper crop.

Now you tell me what happened to your fruit - I wonder if we can get an electronically controlled snake, owl or what ever we need that will scare away the predators - the birds. That is, if they haven't decimated the trees.

I have been planning what flowering plants and bushes I wanted - wanted ones that would attract butterflies and hummingbirds. After the flower blooms dies away there would be berries for the birds. Now I read this and I think - Oh No, I would be attracting predators.

I guess next time we have blooms on our trees I will immediately cover them with a net. Reminds me of when I was a young Mother and put a net over the carriage to keep the bugs from getting to my children.

So as an experienced netter I will once again start covering babies - this time citrus babies.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
