Hello everyone. This is a quick update for July 4, 2009. Not a whole lot new other that tons of growth. I am starting to get ripe tomatoes which is great. Also, I have watermelons coming in and the cantaloupe and cucumbers have small fruit on them so I will have plenty to update you on in the next video.

Strawberries are a great way to get children interested in gardening.
The sweet, juicy fruit gives them ample reward for their efforts and can bring out the green thumb in your budding gardener. However, it’s a good idea for you to take a few precautions so your young one is not disappointed.
Planting your strawberries in tubs and wrapping those tubs in coper wire, or taking other precautions to help deter slugs is necessary. With children involved, I really can’t recommend using an organic deterrent method highly enough. I’ve never known a child that can wait until their strawberries are washed before starting to munch.
You can get special pots that are designed to grow strawberries, they have holes down the sides so you can fit many plants into a small space. Failing this, cut 3 inch holes in the side of a piece of plastic drainpipe, fill the pipe with compost and place up against a wall. You can pop your plants into the holes, just be careful to water very regularly, the plants in this can dry out very quickly.
