The strawbees have taken over both beds (lemmynsfw.com)

This is roughly the harvest every other day. Already have a gallon freezer bag full. No complaints here.

Carrots and peppers were kind of a wash last year so we just let the strawberries run rampant. They're happy as hell and the fruits are have gotten bigger as the plants matured. The left side was clear enough to put beans where the tomato plants used to be. I was planning on skipping tomatoes as well because they got absurdly large and bent their cages, but some of the fallen ones must have seeded because we had 3 little tomato plants shooting up. They're in separate pots now and hopefully that'll be more manageable.

So we had this problem, and a plate/shallow saucer filled with beer placed in the bed with the strawberries will help. Slugs/snails will go for the beer instead of the strawberries and consequently get drunk and drown.

Haha, I've done this before. That was gross! There are far too many snails tho.
