I moved my strawbs pots into the greenhouse as couldn't get the netting right to deter the birds. The pots were right against the house by the patio and still the birds came up for them!
Yesterday we had one big almost ripe one... cue much excitement from my 3yr old who doesn't let anyone else get a look-in with HIS strawbs lol and when I shut up the greenhouse for the night it was munched.
Bloody birds have been inside the greenhouse. Left a right old mess of juice around too. I have to leave the door and window open in this weather - is there anything I can do to stop them from going in? I already have a plastic snake in there! I was wondering about one of those dangly thigns peopel used to pout over their doors to stop flies getting in the house, but imagine this would also stop the good insects?
Janeyo - desperate to get a strawb this year!
ps I also have one flower on one rasp cane - we go away on sat - I imagine it will have been bird food by the time we get back
