Garden Notes
Strawberry Problems

In our strawberry bed, half of the ripe strawberries are inedible. Gardener Peter Richards explains that many of these problems are because there is no plastic mulch on the bed. The plastic degraded in the sun over the winter. Because the berries are on the ground they are rotting and being eaten by slugs.
