Noss,
I am not the one to bring the idea of the bags. It was brought up in a different thread awhile back, I wish I could remember who came up with it because I owe them big. If they hadn't suggested these I very well may not have tasted a fig of mine yet.
Does anyone remember that thread? I would like to see credit go where it belongs, this was a big one.
I love that they help with bugs as well as birds and tree rats.
I really don't think it matters what color you get as long as it is a color that pleases you! If you buy a color you really dislike it will take away from the enjoyment of your trees while they're dressed for dinner.
SEWING??? You almost had me in a seizure there...used to do it all the time and have developed a hatred for my sewing machine. Sold the thing and my daughter turned around and bought me a new one ARRGGHHH.
