I am in Virginia and am planning on starting a small strawberry garden in a raised garden bed.
I have never done this but love strawberries and can't afford the prices in the store and I know fresh grown is always better
any help or tips would be appreciated,

They grow pretty easily in a balanced soil. Good thing you are doing this in a raised bed, because they tend to propagate rapidly and once they get into something else, good luck getting rid of them. Remember this, so don't fill the bed completely because next year you will probably have twice as many of them
We had some mulch delivered a couple of years ago that apparently had seeds in them and by the time the plants showed up, the root system was well established and we are having a helluvatime getting them out of the perennials.

Feed the utmost high quality dogs nutrition you are able to arise with the money for, no corn or wheat. receives rid of the want for suppliments. raw Bones each and every couple of weeks to sparkling teeth. Too many grooming suggestion to instruct, as i have been a professional groomer for 30 years! The Nair in the drain is a astounding theory! to bathe a dogs outside in respectable climate utilising warmth water, run a hose in to kitchen sink, unscrew the aerater from the tap, hose hooks as a lot because it, wallah, warmth water! skinny your shampoo in a gallon jug, makes it less demanding to spread over dogs. For dogs hair that receives stuck in carpets and furnishings and could no longer vacuum out, a slicker brush works like a attraction!

Buy one plant. Break it apart and replant the pieces. After it starts to grow peg the runners into the ground and then replant the runners once they have roots. I did that two years ago and now have 22 plants.

Birds love fresh strawberries.
Invest in a cover with bird netting.
