I might add it on my to-do list once I get myself a new house.Jamie Keiferhttp://bloomiq.com/tips/topiarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442120849666486527.post-42277831839756682562011-06-13T11:51:39.575-04:002011-06-13T11:51:39.575-04:00I think of my gardening as going to college.

Gladly, we don't have to live on what we grow, but hopefully if we ever do need to, I will have already learned what I need to know to have a succesful garden. I learn a little something every year and every year am a but more succesful.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12624483912340768784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-442120849666486527.post-79060361984759771932011-06-13T09:30:14.787-04:002011-06-13T09:30:14.787-04:00Hi Shreela,

The wind blows it around and makes noise that frightenes off the birds.<br /><br />Rev.

They actually grew nicely and after a few weeks I had white baby strawberries. So exciting!<br /><br />I went out everyday to watch for them to turn red, so when they were pink with a bit of red, I told hubby he'd probably get a home-grown strawberry tomorrow.<br /><br />I went out the next morning, it was GONE! Reapeat same story over and over, sigh! Hubby finally saw the enemy - mocking bird (I thought squirrels).<br /><br />So do any readers know a somewhat simplistic and frugal way to grow strawberries in containers that will protect against critters?<br /><br />Thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827052626667535975noreply@blogger.com
