Wouldn't they just rake off the berries with their claws and then snuffle them up? I know they do great damage to apple trees but that's 'cause they try to climb them to get at the apples and their weight breaks the branches.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-14756820995615864962010-07-18T19:00:37.342-04:002010-07-18T19:00:37.342-04:00Mama Pea - something's eating the berries up t...Mama Pea - something's eating the berries up the hill, that's for sure. May be bear or moose. Think bears would be more destructive?<br /><br />Alison - probably no pick your own here, I'm too far into the woods, and my berries are pretty small and hard to pick. Nice idea though!<br /><br />Judy - 11 pounds! Wow! I had a few people over today and we only picked maybe 4 pints in an hour.<br /><br />Thanks Anon!

That first sale seemed like a miracle--someone handed me money for something I grew--amazing! Going on our second year, I can tell you the thrilling feeling doesn't go away.

I paid $15.00.

Fortunately it was light and tiny, and did not do any damage to the garden - unlike last year when it took out all my cucumber seedlings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973984089001877006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6138859409301308693.post-71138051549949754772010-07-18T10:51:02.400-04:002010-07-18T10:51:02.400-04:00Hey-hey, the homestead is starting to support itse...Hey-hey, the homestead is starting to support itself! With all of your blueberry bushes, do you have any bears that bother them?<br /><br />The chimney cap in the yard is a sight we've seen more than once. It usually happens at night (it seems) when we have a rain/wind storm and we're awakened out of a sound sleep by what at first seems like the roof falling in (chimney cap bouncing and rolling off the roof). Glad it did miss your car!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.com
