These plants are wrapped in bird netting - up to, or near, the top leaves.

I found the grow-through supports to be too short, so the top section of these are also wrapped in bird netting. (The blooming ones, on the right)

These are growing through a sectioned support that you can usually find at garden centers or the big box stores. Get the taller ones unless you know you have very short-growing plants (you can push them in deeper if they're too tall).
