Ooo, that's a nice destination place for the weekend. My sister in law goes to
the Ashram there. It's a beautiful place.

Maybe you were lucky, Jim, or maybe you never saw it happen. I have had
a rat snake almost die caught up in that netting until I cut him loose,
and a little warbler got his leg all tangled up in the netting and was
hung upside down in my fig tree.

For me, it is not worth the chance to have something bad like that
happen for a few figs or peaches. The peaches are 99 cents a pound at
Barsana right now, so...

I have used netting to protect my veggies for years. Never had a bird or

in finding the very smallest opening to get into my tomatoes. Wished I could
trap the little *******s and dispatch them for invading my garden.

They are obviously peach, but show no hint of fruit.


We had a bad year peach-wise, not a single one seems to have made it to
maturity.


Is there an ornamental variety that does not grow fruit?


Yeap.


Will it bloom in the spring?


Probably.


Yes, my Redskin had lots of little red peaches and one day I went out
and they were all gone. I looked on the ground and found only one with a
bite out of it.

Hmnnn... squirrels or blue jays? Or both...

I will not use the netting to protect the peaches. Birds and animals get
ensnared and die trapped in that netting. So my advice is to NEVER use
protective netting after I saw what happened to the birds and animals
that got into it.
