In early May we planted a strawberry plant in our garden and they grew a few strawberries, but we did not get a chance to eat them since the other woodland creatures beat us to it. It started producing strawberries again this month and I was not going to be had this time around. I created my own “bird netting” by using some sticks and window screening I had around. I created a basic tee pee shape around the plant and draped the screening over it. For added security, I pushed a few toothpicks through the screening into the ground around the base of the plant to prevent any animals from getting under the screen.
It seems to be working well and Frankie will be able to enjoy a fresh ripe strawberry from our garden any day now.
