I have not commented in some time...please tell me how you protect your strawberry plants. Do you cover them with nets? Ours are getting pecked by birds, but the patch only contains 8 plants and in a very visible area in the backyard. The kids like to scavenge for ripe berries daily, so I am reluctant to net it. Silly enough, I was considering putting up one of those halloween scare crows that we got from Walmart but wasn't sure that would work either... do you have any suggestions? Mary,
