Marina,  can you cover them with net?
We are still picking Lemons.  Have given lots away and used so many in cooking.
We have netted the Apples and they are growing beautifully.  Berries and Gooseberries also netted.
Wasabi not doing all that well. Needs lots of water and very shady spot.
Cherry toms have flowers and Zuchinni growing well.

My veggie garden is great this year picking butter beans , zucchini , cucumbers , beetroot, silver beet ,basil , lettuce radish and spring onions , tomatoes still coming, broccoli just finishing.  It was a slow start but in abundance now.   We have just covered the peach and Nashi trees,

We no longer grow much in the summer. It just seems to roast. Chillies do well though. We had a large vegie garden before we shifted but not here. With DH's big she'd and the house there isn't much left.

Worth a try Chookie, have you ever made the confit of garlic of Tenina's?.  That lasts for ages.
