So earlier this year, I posted about building a pad for my birdbaths. I also planted strawberries and fig trees that I plan to espalier on my south facing brick wall of the garage.
First of all, one of the fig trees leafed out beautifully and the other didn’t. The garden center had the same problem with the remaining stock. In fact, I got the last one that was leafing out. I recently pulled the dead one out and replaced it. It is well behind the other.
The bird baths look great, BUT maybe attracting birds to the area where we planted strawberries wasn’t the best ideas. Birds 300 Boettners 0.
It’s unfortunate because this is a great spot for strawberries, but I LOVE watching the birds from my kitchen window. We may just have to chalk it up to cheap bird food. The blue birds especially love it, and they are my favorites.

I went to Dayton and picked 2 gallons of berries in 30 minutes. That field had more ripe strawberries than I have ever seen in my life.
