[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of berries?

How are they damaging the plant?[/quote]

Strawberries, they are trampling plants and half-yanking them up.

Rental so a fence is not an option.[/quote]

For strawberries, I'd put chicken wire gently over the plants.  It helps keep critters out.  Still can't imagine them being so close to a sidewalk that people could take them, but you may have an odd placement of the garden.

Guess you'll have to add it next year, since strawberry season is pretty much over.[/quote]

Not OP, but we still have plenty of strawberries in our garden. I'm just surprised OP's taste so good that kids are willing to eat them! Ours are acidic, despite DH selecting plants from a specialized garden center. So disappointing.

OP, do you mind sharing the variety?

I think the heat is to blame.  Mine were good two weeks ago when it was a little cooler.  Now they are smaller and nasty, that's why I said the season is basically over.  It usually goes from mid-May to mid-June.[/quote]
