My mom years ago had berries and tomatoes in Palatka Fla in a screen house something like your birdcages but with a dirt floor and a brick patio in the middle. That was so the birds couldn't get at the fruit. She had flowering shrubs growing along the back edge that faced the neighbors outside the screen and a little patio with tables in the middle. Soaker hoses were attached somehow to the sprinkler system so they always got water. I can remember playing in there as a kid and stuffing myself with berries don't remember the exact setup as I was 6 at the time. I just remember it because it was the only place I could play and not worry about being stung.
