[Ag-eq] Apple harvest

Sun Aug 23 01:16:48 UTC 2015

Jewel:

It is a 5 foot no climb fence and so far they haven't gotten out of it.

Parts of my fence in Phoenix were only 4 foot chain link and they didn't get
out.  They are a little chubby, maybe to much so to get over the fence.

What kind of fencing do you use?
