In my mind, I imagined that the gophers found and took them. But why just the two riper ones and leave the not-so-ripe-one? Such a crackerjack!
I knew the animals took them but still,I asked the mister if he harvested two. You know, I had to make sure before I point any finger. Of course, he answered no, and suggested to put the pots on top of our deck table. So, I did.
I don't know what to do with these animals that burrow from the neighbor's yard to ours. Killing is not an option though. I guess, finding ways to outmart them is the only choice I can do.
Today, I had my first taste of my organic strawberry. Here's hoping for more harvests. May I continue to outsmart the gophers, and may they realize that there isn't enough food in our yard and move to a different hood--- to a far away gopherhood!
Till next time!

Congrats, must be very sweet. I also have some problems with squirrels as they eat the mangoes before I even harvest them. Good thing is that I can harvest around fifty in a season so they can eat some and still leave me aplenty. Can you put a mesh or sort of like a chicken wire around so they don't bother your plants? Do you remember the saying, "Ikaw ang nagtanim, iba ang kumain." ?
Hi LiLi, so happy for you that you finally get to harvest your strawberry. Is it sweet? It looks so juicy!
It was sweet, Nancy.
I'll have to fence my small garden in the future. A mesh or chicken wire will do. I want more harvest. Good thing, the animal(s) left me one. :D
Yes, I remember that saying, and it pissed me off when it became not just a saying, but my reality. But on second thought, not really as pissed if able-bodied people were the one who took them. Now, I am a bit ok with the animals. At least they didn't harvest all of it.
Isn't that always how it goes? They always seen to pick them right before you get a chance to eat them. It never fails in my yard!
