Good morning! My blueberries have some berries this year and I’m wondering when the best time is to net them. Is there a too early to do so?

Can’t be too early but you can be too late.

haha good point! THanks!
I used to net mine when they started to turn color now they are all enclosed so i dont have to worry.
I used to put up nets early. Last year I added a ton of mulch to my yard, and we get more flies in the spring, and so i am waiting. I think the birds are not as hungry. They might be eating more insects. They munch a couple blueberries a day. Not too bad.
If I need more then next i will put up a sunflower seed bird feeder.
If that fails the nets are ready. If the birds are hungry I would definitely put them up early. I am trying to keep them fat and happy and see if that works.
