So far this year I've netted brassicas (seedlings) and french beans (after
sowing). I'll be netting our fruit cage very soon - redcurrants and
raspberries won't survive the birdies otherwise. By chance our gooseberries
are in the same area and will be netted - *but* I didn't think they needed
to be netted. They're already quite a size and show no signs of pigeon
problems.

Mine neither.

OTOH - I always successfully grew french beans without netting until a
couple of years ago - and then *nothing* - the birds got them soon after
germination !!
Guess those birdies change their habbits from year to year :-))


They *learn* ;-)
Mine took about 5 years to learn loganberries and tayberries are good to
each. Fortunately, I now have so many that there is enough for all of
us.
