Thank you. It really is satisfying to watch. It's hard work picking everything before the birds get it, or they get too ripe and fall off the bushes, but I can live with that :)

I can't wait to see the pond finished too. It's been a decade-long project.

I know many people don't agree with me, but I'm happy sharing my garden and fruit trees with birds and deer. Key word is 'sharing', not being a piggie and eating everything, lol. :D

Me too. I'd rather the birds had some of the fruit rather than it spoiling. I don't put bird-scarers in my garden - except for the blueberries where there's a cheeky blackbird that takes them before they're quite ripe.
