Looks a bit like the netting I have to put in place to protect my blueberries from my commando-trained blackbirds (but minus the machine gun emplacements!)

Nice job!  :)

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Made me laugh at the weekend when the instructions on the netting say place gently over plants ... yeah right !

Several laths, half a ball of string, some cable ties and 1/2 a box of screws and id nearly got the plants covered.  ::) I know they'll still find a way in.

Canes tied together with slices of old stockings/tights - easy
Tieing very cheap netting to structure with twine a real/timeconsuming pain though
