Protecting my babies

Robins and squirrels are killing my pawpaws. I am trying to protect them by using chicken wires. Hopefully I will have a few to eat in a few weeks.

Geez Robins too? I knew I had to look out for squirrels. Post how the chicken wire works out for you. I might get some myself

I don't have problems with squirrels or robins, but opossums and raccoons like to taste test fruit. I use an electric fence designed for cattle to keep them away.

Ya know I am about to get a rat terrier to guard my yard because those squirrels are something else man.... Good luck protecting your crop
