Blueberries- No Trespassing

Last week we came home after work ready to pick blueberries.  We knew we had not picked in 3 days and estimated that there would be 2-3 gallons to pick.  To our amazement there was not even a remotely blue berry on any of the 12 bushes. We both realized simultaneously that someone had beat us to it.  We were amazed that while we were at work someone had come and cleaned the bushes of all berries. Now if someone had come and helped themselves to a quart or two I would have never known and quite frankly I would not have minded. If one of the neighbors had come and asked us if they could pick some I would most likely have said yes.  But someone came and were greedy and picked between 2 and 3 gallons of blueberries and left us nothing.  It took 6 days for them to recover and for us to get any sizable pick.

 

  So in the meantime we put up a few signs.  The bottom note is Sharee's contribution.

And we put up the game camera so we can see who it might be if they have the guts to return. 

We are going to put up some signs around the garden also.  If they will come take all our berries, what would stop them from taking all our tomatoes and peppers or our ladder and shovel?  And let me tell you...while I was at the farmers market on Saturday morning I was eyeing the new vendor that had berries.  I talked briefly with her and she said she had berries in her back yard.  Me?  I was wondering if her back yard was my front yard.
