The plant is still small, but it’s putting off a few here and there and man are they tasty. Looking forward to getting enough to actually do something next season

      Grow a bunch, and get there before the birds do. A bird feeder might help too.

      Bird and/or deer netting. Thankfully birds haven’t found our raspberry plant yet but they’re not really ripe yet. We have a 6’ fence around our garden to keep deer out.
