Protecting Berries From Birds
It’s just about strawberry time. Ok, we’re running a little late this year due to the weather, but it IS almost strawberry time nonetheless!
If you typically lose some of your berries to birds, here is a tip I found that will save your berries for yourself.
When your strawberries set on and are still green, paint some small strawberry sized rocks red, and scatter them near the plants. The birds will try to eat the ‘fruit’, but will soon realize these aren’t good to eat. By the time your berries ripen, the birds will have moved on to someone else’s untended berry patch and you’ll be able to harvest yours.
