Half a pear does not equal one
About a month ago, there were so many pears ripening, I wondered if I would be able to eat them all before they got too ripe. Now, look what I’m finding on my pear tree! Half-eaten pears, and drops on the ground with teeth marks all over. I feel lucky if I find a drop that’s still unmarked.
I’m beginning to take a strong dislike to raccoons.

Hi Pam! Just pointed my roommate Jim at your blog. He suggests ziplock bags agaist birds and insects. Er, for raccoons, make that kryptonite and bullet-proof glass. And dogs and guns. Arm the cats!
So far bird netting seems to be keeping the peaches secure. Next year, I’ll try netting the pear tree too.
Thanks!
