Blueberries

I want to plant some blueberry bushes in the Spring. To protect
them from birds I plan to screen them in. In past years, I shared
my neighbor's garden and kept the deer and rabbits out by planting
haberero peppers around the garden. My concern with deer is they
tear down the screen.
What do you due to protect berry bushes?

Dick the framework for my screen is made out of metal uprights of the
type signposts are made and the horizontal members are bamboo. The
deer leave my berries alone, but the raccoons are a problem. A couple
weeks before they ripen I start live trapping them and relocate them to
a state park.
For subsequent seasons, consider planting in the fall. It gives your
plants several months to establish a root structure before they leaf
out.
