everybody loves strawberries

One thing we have not found a solution for is, opossums and rabbits and skunks. My goodness we have a lot of skunks around here. All three of those love my garden goodies, especially the strawberries. Actually everyone loves the strawberries. I cannot tell you how many times the dairy cow has jumped INTO the garden fence to get at the strawberry patch. And how many times the horses have leaned over the fence to eat the strawberries. It is a wonder we get any. It is like first come first served with the strawberries around here. Now I have talked myself right into a strawberry craving. Why does fresh fruit sound so good when you can’t get it?

We have field fencing around our garden with a decorative western looking wood fence also. The purpose around here is to keep an animal in or out, or both. Since the garden is close enough to the house, and we have dogs, the deer don’t get in there, I also have another trick for that, human urine or cut hair. I know more disgustingness, but hey it works. Country guys often use the great outdoors so just have them use it around the garden perimeter. Or cut everyone’s hair and place it around the perimeter. For more modest folks they could go in a bucket and it can be poured around the garden. Or you could just let the deer eat up all of your hard work in the wee hours of the morning, before you have smelled the coffee.
