The plants were started as a lark, but I lost my job recently, and the idea of having free food to supplement my diet just got more important, ya know? Plus it would be nice to get at least one of my own strawberries. The thing nibbles each one, just before it gets ripe. Never finishes one, just eats a little bite out of each.

Plus the idea of having a possum home in my approx hundred SF of "yard" is slightly alarming. Transitory visitors are one thing, but its not so much space that I am overly comfortable sharing it with wildlife on a regular basis.

I was just informed that they are not native to this area, although I thought they were native virtually everywhere.
