Hey guys (and gals!),

Thanks, the striped variety was Casady's folly- won't grow it again.. Very susceptible to ber, while I lost maybe 4 dozen total it has massive yields and quickly recovers mid-season.. The reason I won't bother with the variety is due to the flavor - bland and more towards the bitter end of the spectrum than anything.. I left most of the fruit on the vines and ended up composting them - it was a shame really ..

Thanks! Yes I did make the cages myself .. Found a diy online.. They're made out of cattle panels and could support my weight on all sides (160lbs!). If you're interested I'll try to dig it up (pun intended lol).
