What did you learn in 2022 about growing vegetables or fruit?

Not smaller ones. On bad years squirrels can have a very bad economic impact- I’ve heard some complaints. At least my customers can pay for protection by having me erect baffles on trees shaped with over 4’ of straight trunk before first branches. Squirrels have been brutal this season without this protection but I’ve only lost fruit where I failed to recoat my baffles with grease. At some sites I’ve also had to use nets to stop thirsty birds. We’ve had the worst drought in at least a decade.

You can see some photos of my baffles here- DIY Squirrel Baffle ideas? - #24 by alan
