Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
Having resorted to The Fence to save our not so indigenous saskatoons from the indigenous wildlife (actually white-tails are not so indigenous at all), we now have to worry about the birds. I am inspired by the fishing line tactics used on the Tori in Helsinki so will probably do something similar here. It would be devastating if we never got to taste these! I have no idea when saskatoons are ripe to pick but we'll keep an eye on them. They will certainly be easier to harvest than the sea buckthorn berries of which we inevitably lose more than half to the magpies before we get round to picking them. Trouble is, if you pick them too soon, they just taste evil.
