Home Growing Strawberries and Cucumbers

Now we have some strawberries in at home, they need a cover - enter the wire mesh:

The wire mesh is interesting to work with - three designs of covers here (bees allowed, birds no). Chose to avoid netting as birds get caught up in it. Also have cucumbers in here growing up the wall - Burpless Tasty and Crystal from the salad kit. These are growing up a construction made from the traditional materials i.e. bamboo canes and string. Weather not great, but the plants all look OK so should be interesting to see how they get on.
