March and April are the two months that force every gardener to roll up her sleeves and get to work This year I have dedicated two large beds to strawberries I have two varieties: Sequoia, which are big the big huge guys you usually get from the farmers market & Ever-bearing, which are not actually ever bearing but are supposed to yield at least 3 sets of fruit in Spring, Summer and then again in the Fall The biggest issue I have had with berries is the birds....I guess they love them too...
