Rina: Growing Cherry Trees!

Growing cherry trees is not has easy as it would seem. We have 3 cherry trees in our garden and making sure it is healthy has been our priority since the beginning of April.

The biggest predators of growing cherry trees in your garden are birds!!! Growing cherry trees will guarantee a huge bird population flocking to your garden. But if you want to eat the cherries you will have to guard your tree against the birds. I kid you not when I say that they can strip your tree in less than half an hour. That's what happened to 1 of our 3 trees.

We started protecting the trees by hanging bird repellents in the trees but it was no success! My dad passed 1 day in the garden chasing 'em birds away. He got annoyed and decided to buy a bb gun! Lol! Nah, just kidding. I just commented on facebook and one of my friends suggested hanging aluminum plates which by the way, worked like a charm! When I googled ways of getting rid of bird attacks on cherry trees, some people also suggested to hang CDs. They reflection would guaranty to scare birds. And once again, it did work. Netting also works but if birds get caught, it's could get ugly so careful!

Well, the cherries have been cook by mother nature and we've been eating them like birds since Monday! Hehehe. Today, I decided to take a few shots.
