\nIf the wind doesn\u2019t whip the netting to shreds, snow will weigh it down until the frame breaks; plus, it\u2019s also important that your fruit plants get a little wild, cageless timeI walk over to the allotment, intending to bodge my shed roof back together. If my shed roof was a metaphor for my life\u00a0\u2013 that is, scraps of plastic, a\u00a0few sheets\u00a0of corrugated iron sheeting secured by broken limbs from trees, and under all that a\u00a0very large hole and rotten timber \u2013 then I\u2019d be very broken and badly patched.

I can choose to look at it as a metaphor, or I can accept that repairing it hasn\u2019t been much of a\u00a0priority, and just resecure the corruguated iron sheets with frozen fingers: winter has\u00a0danced across the garden.Well, my fruit cage is in\u00a0a\u00a0similar state to my shed roof. I pull apart the broken timber and remove the netting. This is the first rule of fruit cages (and one that I have singularly failed to follow, much like choosing to fix the shed roof in summer, rather than in the depths of winter): never leave the netting on over winter. If the wind doesn\u2019t whip it to shreds, snow will weigh it down until the frame breaks; plus, it\u2019s also important that the\u00a0fruit gets a little wild, cageless\u00a0time.
