I tried my best but I lost out again. In years past the deer would eat all the strawberry plants. So this year I was ready with an ample supply of "Liquid Fence" and a good amount of fertilizer and my hopes were up for a small crop. This stuff really works but you have to reapply it if it rains. Well, I made the mistake of eating one of the first fruits. I had to spit it out immediately because even though I only sprayed some of the outer leaves, some of that concoction got on the fruit. It has putrified eggs and garlic ingredients. Then a couple of days ago a guy stopped and helped a box turtle to cross the road as it headed into my yard. I certainly was happy about that but tonight I decided to check out if there might be a few berries for me because I was still having trouble with birds pecking into the fruits. Well, I caught a box turtle snapping up the red berries. At least he ate the whole thing in contrast to those wasteful pecks!
