Same with ants or bird damage if it's small (birds do carry nasty diseases but perhaps not those birds that eat cherries). Have been doing it for 35+ years and I'm still here... -- posted from http://www.homeownershub.com/edible/...eat-40460-.htm using HomeOwnersHub's Web, RSS and Social Media Interface to home and garden related groups |
