My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How to keep pests from fruit?

18 years ago

I have finally had success cross pollinating my passiflora. Had two nice fruit growing, the first one aborted, the second was taken by some sort of vermin. I had it covered with cheesecloth. What is the best way to keep pests away from the fruit? Thank you.
