I didn't do it!!!

BTW, folks, I've got a question???

It's about time for black raspberries to start coming in and the crows know it... They have been hangin' out waitin' to do their crow thing on the berries and we've tried a few things that didn't work out too well...

First, that small light weight netting isn't the answer... The plant grows thru it and then the stuff is hopelessly captured by the netting... I hate that nettin'!!! Second the crow go under it and peck away...

I've also used pie pans hung above the patch...

Any other ideas???

I'm going back to Wes Ginny today to play a large private party (200 people) and am takin' some 3 gallon pots and shovel and going back to some propert that we just sold but have permission to scavenge from before it is cleared for a new house... I know there are several white pines which would love to be outta those woods so maybe I'll save a few of them... Lots of stuff on a several lots I sold a few years ago that I know will one day be bulldozed so I'll check them out, too... Think it's gonna be fun...

I know that playin' will be fun... Takin' the entire arsenal... Drums, Lowebow, Back Porch slab geetar and a couple resonators... Gonna be a ggod plant day and a good music day, as well...
