Hi from SE Missouri! As a semi-temporary fix, you can go to the fabric store and get a couple yards of nylon netting. It's cheap and the fabric is wide. I use that over my strawberry bed (in green) and use rocks and boards to secure the edges, so birds and turtles can't crawl under the edge. I just move the boards and lift the net out of the way to get the berries. Once the berries are gone, remove the netting and give the berries a good weeding.

Welcome! Your carrots and Howdens look great! As others have said, use plastic netting over the strawberries. If you have never grown Howdens before, you're in for a real treat. They grow very fast and will take over everything around them.

Yeah I have never grown any pumpkin. I'm glad they grow fast!!

That's awesome!! Haha, we should do that!! Thanks!

Well, we could but those darn southerners CHEAT and start planting while we have 3' of snow! They are evil. You will find that out when you are on this board enough! The ones from California can be sneaky ornery too!
