I would like a thread called "What I didn't harvest today"
I did my usual little walk around the garden yesterday evening, mainly snapping off marestail, when I thought, ooh I shall pick some gooseberries, they were looking good a couple of days ago...
I went to the gooseberry bushes and there was not a single berry left on either bush, not one!
I am guessing it was the blackbirds that had them.
Sometimes I wish my garden was a wildlife desert and not a dessert for wildlife!

That’s frustrating peanut.
I checked one of my gooseberry shrubs a week or so ago and it was stripped bare….leaves and all…darned sawfly
I’ll go and check the other one right now…

I had sawfly too this year, I squished a few but the birds seemed to pick off the rest and I was feeling pretty chuffed with the balance, but then... bad birds!
I hope you still have fruit!
