The strawberries are coming along great, those under the Victorian Cloches have produced several ripe fruits and those in the fruit cage, although not as far along are heavy with fruit.
The disappointing thing is that the ripe fruit have little holes nibbled in them. I first suspected that this was slugs however thinking about it I have never actually seen any on the plot. The could come out at night, although I think a more likely suspect are ants as there are loads on the plot and I have even seen them crawling over the ripening strawberries.
Has anyone else had issues with ants and soft fruit? If so any advice ould be greatly received.
