My dad is a huge gardener and that's what he usually does - a net over the plants with something weighted to hold it down on the sides. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/something-is-eating-our-strawberries#post-798333 Tue, 21 May 2013 13:50:26 +0000 BelugaBean 798333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So we decided to grow a little vegetable garden out back and we also added strawberries. They've been growing really well and we ate one and it was really good. So we've been trying to let them get ripe before picking them. The only problem is that something is eating them.</p> <p>The minute they turn red, there's a big slice taken out of them. It looks like it's probably a bird because it's a pretty clean slice every time. We've thought about a net but wouldn't some birds still be able to get to the strawberries?</p> <p>Would a net work? Is there anything else we could do? </p>
