The Bounty

Just harvested a whole cup of blueberries - the most I've ever been able to get. Usually the birds and squirrels eat them before I can get them - they seem to like them slightly less ripe than I do. I deployed a net over the most prolific bush, anchored to the ground, and it seems to be working. However, when I approached to harvest this evening, a couple of birds were extremely annoyed I was there - I think they had been working on the other, unprotected, bushes.
