Strawberries were in that bed but they died. Tried petunias but they nearly all died before I figured out what was going on. Ideally it will be a strawberry bed for ever bearing strawberries. The strawberries in the far left are surviving but the rest all died. The squirrels wouldn't be as big of a problem if the neighbors didn't feed them unshelled peanuts. They really like digging in the loose soil of my pots since ground here is a lot of clay. They dug my carrots up twice.
