Hi Ya'll,    I think I remember some talk in the past about bagging
apples for their protection.  I have some new types that are only two
years old and grafted on old trees which have produced a few apples and
would sure like to taste at least one of each. 

My problem is the birds which are pecking and ruining many of them.  I
had one clump of three Bramleys Seedlings and one fell yesterday, so my
chances of ripening the other two are slim.  I have from ten to twenty of
some other varieties, so may get to taste a couple if I can foil the
birds.   Have also considered a fony owl?

Would appreciate any suggestions from some of you more experienced folks.

Thanks,    Jack Wigal
