My strawberries are doing really good.

They seem to be quite happy in the new raised bed.

My husband made it out of block, it doesn't look pretty, but it does the job.  We filled it up with cow manure.   Then topped it with about a foot of a mixture of potting soil and peat moss.

We have to cover it with netting, or the deer will eat them.

We moved them last fall and they are doing really good so far.
