Something happened and my latest cry for help has not shown up under my replies.

So no home gardening gurus are finding my post.

Here’s what I had posted:

How can I get my plants to produce bigger strawberries?
I have a strawberry patch with loads of berries, but each year they are only about the size of peas.

I checked the soil. The PH is neutral. It’s low in potash and nitrogen and average in phosporous. Do these nutrients make a difference in fruit size?

the problem is little critters are probably eating them before they are big enough to pick. If you go to a gardening store or look in the gardening department in like maybe walmart. They will have a covering kind of thing to keep this from happening

That’s a good idea. When my little berries do finally turn red there usually are some rabbit teeth marks on them. And the fake owl I put out there to scare away the birds eating them just became another perching post.

I’ll have to look for the covering and I guess I also need to add more fertilizer.

Thanks.

you have a fake owl in your garden! thats cool. The rabbit’s are gnawing away at your berries. Thats cute. Lol i see this as some sort of Beatrix Potter garden where your garden serves as a community meeting post for the local animals. How is the most helpful person i know doing?

WEll that’s a great way to look at it! I actually don’t mind sharing with the rabbits and birds and even enjoy seeing them in the yard, if only they wouldn’t nibble every piece of fruit.

As for me, I’ve been sooo busy. I’m ready for summer vacation!

As the “lack” resolution coming along?

On trying to find info about “lack” i went to the bookstore to read and i found some book called Democracy in America by Alexis de Tocqueville instead. Random isn’t it? Anyways, God must have came into my life because he sent someone to help me out, that girl I was mentioning earlier. She is a totally mature, adult, 3-dimensional person with an very put-together life, she goes to parties on the weekends, weddings, birthday parties, she’s out with friends at night, has a good job, AND HERE I AM THIS TOTAL like… ultra-friendless-lonely-somewhat-socially-awkward-nerdy-but-generally-happy kind of guy.. And im not making hardly any money and I know you guys support me, but I need a life!

Im living with a friend and he’s one of the most annoying mental cases Ive ever known but he literally has diagnosed schizophrenia and its serious, but I lost sympathy for it when he shoots me down repeatedly. I’ve basically stopped taking him seriously. Its a big issue, but I just avoid because it’d be so inconvenient to move out and I dont think i’d be able to afford or live so nicely the way i do now. im sure of it in fact.. Its yet another thorn in my side. I really have to dig into him, because he’s essentially a grown child, and he actually would respect me more if I told him what needs to be said. But i dont want to rock the boat because living here is so nice (im living at his parent’s house in his brothers room) i pay rent but its a good deal for how comfortable and generally pleasurable it is and this is in the top 5 most difficult to find decent housing cities just behind NY, and SF.

Anyways, Im feeling really happy lapa but, fundamentally im still “lack”. Im okay though, and not too bad. I can’t wait till i have enough money to find a decent place of my own!!!! That would be nice
