One of your neighbors might have planted a crabapple as a ornamental tree.

Off of my 3 new blueberry bushes, I had lots of fruit set. I was able to actually eat ONE blueberry. I guess the birds got the rest of them. They disappeared as they ripened.

Maybe birds or maybe a raccoon. I had a raccoon do that to my blackberries one year. I'd look at them and say, those will be ripe enough to pick tomorrow, but tomorrow they would be gone.so lucky said:Off of my 3 new blueberry bushes, I had lots of fruit set.

Yep. Or maybe squirrels? We have several of them that are getting bolder in their excursions.

This brings up a question: will bird netting keep a squirrel out of the strawberries? They are right around the base of a tree and he feels pretty comfortable with that dining spot :/. Lost a lot of them to the squirrel last year.
He also took a lot of peaches. This year, I think both of us are out of luck. I don't know . . . must have been one of our late frosts :/.
I've kept birds out of the garden by strategic placing and frequent moving of a stuffed cat. The cat is gone but I've got Garbanzo's stuffed cow . Garbanzo has run the squirrel out of the yard before but that's a little scary. If it came down to it, I don't know who would win the fight - the dog or the squirrel.
