Didn't one of our members try the clear plastic bags on some of the soft
skin fruit last year or the year before? And found that it did not work;
fruit got mushy or something? The remay sounds like a good idea. How about
just cutting rounds or squares and gathering them manually and holding the
gather with the twist tie? No sewing involved? I must try the cheapo
WalMart sandwich bags this year on apples. I'm dyin' here with plum
curculio early and oriental fruit moth late. Odd how they do not seem to
affect the plums???
