(We've grown strawberries in IL and IN north of I-70 and south of
I-80 with plenty of success.)

How did you deal with the slugs that tasted your ripe strawberries
just before you picked them? I'm picking mine as soon as there's red
and before any holes.



I haven't seen any slugs, but that's not to say they're not out there.

We do occasionally get some bad red berries, but they're minimal compared
to the number of good ones.
