Ok, gardening news advice has now shifted from how best to plant to how best to protect the vegetables and fruits which have begun to form. This is one of the more absurd things I've come across. We are advised to bag each formed vegetable or fruit with a mesh drawstring bag to keep insects and critters from getting at them. I don't know who this person is who suggested this, but he or she must have a lot of time on their hands and a lot of mesh bags. Or, really good knees to stay bent over for the time it would take to do this.
We have a strawberry patch in our yard and I cannot conceive of doing this for each berry. Or tomato or anything else.
