I wanna farm
I discovered a couple of days ago that my strawberry plant had one big, slightly pink strawberry on it. I started paying extra special attention to it, waiting for it to get big and red and some little critter came along yesterday and ate the darn thing! It couldn't have been my chickens, they are confined to the coop and run. I suspect it may be either one of the little bunnies that run around out back or the coon that left tracks around the feed buckets. We have lots of squirrels too, but the chickens usually scare them away (garden is right beside the coop). How do I keep the critters out of my garden? They haven't touched anything else, then again, nothing else is doing anything. I don't want to lose the rest of my little strawberries and my future tomatoes and squash! Do you think I need to dig some chicken wire down around the garden and put up a fence?
