[quote=Anonymous]The first year I planted my garden in a raised bed that took me a week to dig out in the backyard and got nothing between the bunnies, resident rat, squirrels and birds. The next year, I decided to move to containers in the front yard and surround each container with a wire mesh with bird netting on top - all of my tomatoes and cucumbers got the wilt and died and I got nothing. This year, my tomatoes and cucumbers are growing really well with an abundant crop in containers, but now that the tomatoes are starting to turn red, the birds are making their way through my wire mesh surround and eating the tomatoes. I just spent an hour wrapping the entire plants with more bird netting. Now I know why real gardeners use hot houses and green houses. Just wondering if anyone else has been battling nature and do you just pick your tomatoes while they are green and let them ripen inside?[/quote]
