As you can see from former posts, we have struggled the last 6 months with trying to grow strawberries.

Starting Strawberries Sept 2016
Strawberries Oct 2016 The Saga Continues
Strawberries – 3rd Times a Charm?
Ta-Da Strawberries! Nov 2016

We finally got the Sweet Charlies to grow, but it has been slow going since Nov 2016, the last 3 months.
At least now our plants are starting to look much healthier and to put out flowers and fruit.

 

 

 

 

 

So what’s the issue now?  Nice big strawberries with huge bites taken out of them!  Rabbits?  Yes, or squirrels…

Using the extra rabbit height electric fence we had left from the West Veggie Garden,  we enclosed the strawberry rows and hooked up to the Hilltop Pasture fence for power.

Will we finally get strawberries?  Time will tell!

Happy Homesteading,
