As the blueberries ripen a big concern around the garden is losing them to birds. Someone told us that they heard birds can wipe out a blueberry patch in a short period of time. Besides running fishing line above the plants which would be very time consuming, we came up with the idea of putting a fake owl overlooking the blueberries to discourage curious birds. I just hope it doesn't deter the band of little birds that are always hopping around between my plants munching on the bugs. These little birds really do a nice job and are a joy to watch as they go about their business.

The Florida Bee Farm's irrigation system has completely failed as the water pump needs to be replaced. This water pump has been nothing but trouble and recently is overheating and stopping. When your goal is consistent reliable water to the plants, a pump that randomly shuts down is not an option.
