			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I couldn’t grow strawberries in Houston because of the slugs.  I didn’t try surrounding them with copper tubing. Supposedly the slugs won&#8217;t cross copper.  I had better luck with home-made <a href="http://www.bearmountainbooks.com/gardening/pest-control/slugs/">slug traps</a>.</p>
<p>I grew two kinds in the hill country:  Everbearing (came out of those early packages where you get 10 per bag, but it didn’t identify exactly what kind of everbearing they are) and a Sequoia.  </p>
<p>They did just fine, but in order to have a decent crop you probably need thirty or more plants.  I still have a few plants, but have started going to strawberry farms to get my berries.  I&#8217;ve been to a farm in Marble Falls, Texas and Lexington, Texas&#8211;see <a href="http://www.sweetberryfarm.com/">Sweet Berry Farms</a>.  This allows me to get enough berries to freeze for smoothies!</p>
