Tim and Sue are visiting this weekend and as usual when they visit, we put them to work. Recently, Sue posted photos on Facebook of a PVC and chicken wire cage they created to keep critters out of the raised beds in her garden.
Ben and I had been brainstorming about ways to keep the birds out of our strawberry patch and when we saw what Tim and Sue had created for their garden, we knew we'd found the solution!
Our strawberry plants are about a year old. They aren't huge but they made it through this endless winter and actually have a few blooms. We're hopeful that we'll have a small strawberry harvest this year and look forward to more plentiful harvests in years to come.
We were thankful for the sunshine yesterday but felt chilled all day due to the strong north winds.
The finished cage fits our raised bed just right, and is lightweight enough for us to easily remove when we need to.
Now we wait for warm sunny weather and hopefully lots of yummy strawberries!
