My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Strawberry Problems

8 years ago

FIRST STRAWBERRY PLANT

Came home from work to find a strawberry that was almost ready to pick, but when I got up close, found holes in it. See 1st two photos. It's hard to see the holes in the second photo - they are smaller than the first and not as deep.


Was hoping it is only slugs, that Sluggo can take care of, but then saw the leaf on the same plant that is damaged from something else - something not strong enough to bite through the veins.


SECOND STRAWBERRY PLANT

The 3rd photo (leaf only) is from a different kind of strawberry plant. It almost looks like bird poop, but it's not splattered like normal bird poop. It's a coating of some kind. Ideas? Maybe it really is just tidy bird poop?
