Strawberries, birds and snakes

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi all,

Thanks to all who made suggestions a couple of weeks ago concerning birds 
eating my strawberries.  I had them covered with the black bird netting, but 
the birds were still making headway.  One suggestion (I'm sorry, I can't 
remember whose, but thanks!) was to try net with smaller holes.  I went to 
the fabric store and purchased several yards of black net (59 cents/yd) and 
simply laid it over the bird netting that was already in place.  The holes 
are very small, and so far it seems to be doing the trick!  A very easy and 
very inexpensive solution.  Just thought others might want to give it a try.

PS  Just a word of caution...be alert as you do your spring cleaning in your 
gardens...I found a small coiled up snake, about the size of a pencil and 
about 10" long, in my garden today, almost touched him.  I escorted him away 
on the end of a shovel.  He may have been harmless, haven't had a chance to 
look him up yet, but we do have some "bad" guys around here.  Really took me 
by surprise.  Has anyone else had this happen??
