Sadly, I decided to stop raising strawberries. I'm just too tired of fighting with chipmunks and catbirds for the fruit. Covering the bed in an effort to keep the critters out never really worked and make it that much more difficult for me to pick the berries.
As a part of this decision it was then time to replace the raised bed the strawberries had been in for the last umpteen years, as it was rotting away.
I replaced the old 4'x'8"x8', above, with 4'x10"x8', below, so taller -
I will be planting carrots and beans in this new bed in the coming weeks.
Also, I will continue my assaults' on the chipmunks, as a matter of principle and the thrill of the chase.
