Strawberry Protection

Amy2 Comments

The other day, David commented on strawberries and how the birds beat him to his first crop of red strawberries.  It's so frustrating to go out to the garden and find this: Ugh!  A perfect berry is ruined!  The birds love all kinds of berries and will eat your strawberries faster than you can imagine if… Continue reading Strawberry Protection

Amy3 Comments

Last week Mom's Many Projects posted a great question: When do you know the radishes are done? I’ve planted them for the first time, but have no idea when to pull them up!
