I have managed to stop – well almost – the thieving squirrels by protecting my strawberry bed with nets, I knew why I planted them in all four raised beds – very easy to fix the nets over. Work is going ahead to move more strawberry plants into the new beds after the harvest. The squirrels were very persistent!

Never mind, all is well and the other day I picked 2 kg of lovely strawberries. The next day there were 13 jars of delicious jam – summer in a jar!
