So far, so good
So far, so good
So far my quest to save my strawberries is working. I put up my fence, whoops backtrack, the firt thing I had to do was hammer in steel fenceposts. My ears were ringing for hours after doing that. Two were 6 feet tall so I had to stand on a step stool to pound them in, but the other 5 were 5 ft. After i got them all pounded in, you should have seen me trying to attach this plastic coated wire fence to the posts. It was like 3 giant anacondas vying for position around my feet, arms, and waist. The fence was tightly rolled and when i cut the fence, it started acting like it was alive. I was dragging, pulling, lifting, stretching, all at the same time. At the same time I am trying to put tie wraps on the posts to hold the fence in place - this is a job I did all by my lonesome. Today i decided to go and look to see if my project was still in place or had the groundhog bested me again. I was relieved to see that everything is as i left it, and I can see one huge strawberry forming with others following. Hopefully in about a week I will get enough for a quart or more.
