Vegetable and fruit saver

A method for increasing yield of certain fruit and vegetable plants by reducing the incidence of spoilage comprising the steps of:

• providing an angled arm-supported netting in an inverted cone-like shape, a top of said netting forming the base of said cone, positioned about said plant;
• positioning tying means into said arm supports for maintaining said shape of said netting;
• placing a shield means for insertion about said plant at a bottom of said netting forming an imaginary frustoconical plane for preventing said fruit and vegetable from discharging from said netting;
• and
• harvesting said fruit and vegetables when sufficient quantities have collected on said net and shield.

A fruit and vegetable saver for harvesting with reduced spoilage by preventing produce of a plant from falling to the ground comprising:

• a plurality of spaced apart legs further comprising:
• a central extension tube;
• a top portion having a post top, having further an aperture therein for receiving an adjustment support means, an insert end for insertion into an upper space of the extension tube, and an outer ring clip for seating and supporting an outer ring;
• a foot portion having an insert end for insertion into a lower space of the extension tube, a spike, and a step therebetween for stepping onto to drive the spike into the ground;
• and
• a pair of rings, an inner ring and the outer ring, having respectively splice points for receiving thereover loops of a net for catching fallen fruit and vegetables, for placement of the inner ring into a pocket formed at an inner end of the adjustment support means, and for placement of the outer ring in the outer ring clip of the top portion of said legs for supporting both rings for providing for a spread between the inner and the outer rings sufficient to catch falling fruit and vegetables.
