Hi, Everybody,

It happened again this morning. One of my strawberry
plants had an alllllmost ripe fruit, which would make
my morning treat.

I have seven strawberry plants, so they will soon be
able to yield more than one ripe fruit at a time.

But... Gone! Again!

In a quick search, I couldn't find any dropped fruits
or crumbs. The stem was just broken off right below
where the fruit was. This is about the third time this
has happened

My current suspect is... Birds(?)

If that is the big danger, perhaps I could hang up some
surplus CDs to scare them away(?)


Several years ago, I had that problem with my tomatoes. I later caught
my neighbor stealing the tomatoes. Some neighbor, eh?
