Wow, congratulations!! I have the shittiest luck with strawberries - wilting, mildew, not to mention slugs AND birds - so that is a very rewarding outcome for someone who was so nervous about growing plants :)
Hope you feel inspired to continue on your horticultural journey :D
There's been a few things nibbling away at some of the leaves, but (touch wood) everything's mostly alright. The pineberries are a different story, though. The gnats killed one of the plants and the other seems to not be doing much of anything. It's not dead, but it's not producing runners, or flowering, or fruiting. Birds (and hopefully slugs) will be deterred by the netting we chucked over it though!
Thank you!
