It's become apparent that some form of wildlife is taking advantage of our fruit bushes: some of the blueberries, gooseberries and raspberries have been munched. Possibly a rabbit, possibly a deer: both have been spotted in the garden at different times.
My suggested solution: a rifle. Venison or rabbit pie, both are good. However, this idea was frowned upon, so yesterday we went out and got some (nominally anti-bird) netting, and spent this afternoon constructing bamboo frames for it to go over. Looks tolerable, and I hope will discourage eating. I'm hopeful that we'll be putting in the raised beds in the next month or so, and at the same time, will build a proper wooden cage to support the netting, which should be much more effective.
