Not a problem.

I guess I should post in the Veggie forum about my sugar snaps and snow peas (have seen a half dozen baby peas and have about 150 flowers).

And I should post in the Fruit forum about my 4' x 8' bed of Chandler strawberries I bought bare-root online which are looking really good in my raised bed and have set 15-20 strawberries per plant. I couldn't find any vars I wanted in Houston last year -- I did see Allstar plants this spring which are actually pretty good, but of course that was too late as I planted last September. I did not want Quinault, Sequoia, etc. All of my knowledge about Strawberries comes from the Fruit & Orchards forum at GW. Growing strawberries is sort of an oddity in Houston, but I'm giving it a shot. I added bird/squirrel netting today and secured it on all 4 sides with 1 x 2 wood and bricks. I don't see any places squirrels can dig and get in there.
