Strawberries and blueberries...?

...birds ate all of the strawberries before they turned red. I haven't see any new blossoms ever since, which is unusual in our garden. They usually blossom adjectives summer. I don't cover the plants...and know I should. Do I have to wait until subsequent year?

Blueberries: Our bushes are doing very well this year. Should I prune them to relieve the fruit flourish? And, we've hundreds, if not thousands of blossoms and berries in the making. However final year they were very bitter. Why?

Thanks surrounded by advance!

Answers:    Standing and waiting patiently with bowl and spoon for blueberries.

Now...You may want to cover your blueberries next to netting before the birds get them...
and
If they be bitter did you pick before they were completely ripe..?
Good luck near that.
Peace.
You must have the everbearing strawberries. Depending on where you are located, I'd recommend mulching them near straw so that any new berries don't mold from the soil, and aren't as easily targeted by birds.

As for the blueberries, they must hold acidic soil. Test the soil and see if the pH is around 5. If it goes above 6 the berries can be bitter. You can use pine needles as a mulch to relief keep the pH down. Also use plant food for acid-loving plants (ACE hardware sells a biddable brand). I mulch mine with pine needles and feed them acerbic fertilizer...and they love both!
Connie seems to know her stuff--I don't know crap about it save for the fact that some farmers shoot at you if you try to pick a bucket of blueberrys in the middle of the darkness. Both
