These were annual strawberries, so delicious and had no snails or other problems in this container. BUT, I also have lots of perennial fruits - raspberries, peaches, pears and blueberries. It's too much dang fruit! I have started a few perennial plants, so I should have some.

I can understand your doing a bit less in your garden this year. It's been quite a year for you. You're going away again?

I was shocked at how many beans my eight foot row produced. I came to hate beans, they had to be harvested every single day for nearly two months. Green, so I couldn't see them easily, and I had to bend over. I wish I could plant everything in elevated beds like my strawberry bed, which had almost no diseases or pests.
