not for the birds!


today i am here to share with you a simple tip for growing strawberries. 


we have been growing strawberries for several years now, but just recently we have had issues with birds. the birds nibble on the ripe berries, leaving holes in the side, before we have an opportunity to harvest them. so, we purchased a roll of bird mesh netting from home depot for under $8. we cut the netting to size & draped it over our beds. it works perfectly & we have delicious berries! 



i am excited to bake a rhubarb strawberry crisp this week!
