Here we are, netting the vines.
The process involves lots of people - 3 that cast a 17' wide net over the rows, then unrolling down each row.
Then a follow-up crew secures the nets at the base with clothepins (although we may upgrade to fishing line soon, since it would do a better job at staying sealed against aggressive birds.)
This year, many volunteers got bit by some type of small biting bug. Yuck! I didn't know we had anything but mosquitos around here; and they usually die out by June-ish.
More research necessary!
