This year I decided was the year to start some strawberry plants. It is one plant I have never tried before so any information I do have came out of a book, but it is a very popular fruit with kids so I feel like I have to try.
The main thing I know about strawberries is that they send out runners and spread beyond their original plantings so I decided to plant strawberries in large pots.
The morning after I wrote this post I went out to check on my newly planted strawberry plants. Some sort of animal had taken to digging in the and unearthing most of the new plants. My guess would be a raccoon or squirrel (although it was a lot of damage for a squirrel). So it looks like I may be protecting these pots some how.
I love your clever strawberry pots…a lot of folks don’t realize there are so many ways to grow strawberries……I am actually waiting for my runners to get here in the mail right now and I cannot wait! Well my cat likes to get in my raised beds so I feel your pain about the critter……best of luck keeping the critters away from your berries!
