Instant Poll: Help The Gallimore Family Decide

I want to plant strawberry plants in the front beds.  My reasoning is that we have never have used the beds, the cedar bark looks OK, but it is dead and boring.  I could have a living mulch that gives me free food.  Strawberries are low-maintenance, look good, and will come back each year.  Amber thinks it will look funny and attract pests.  Help us decide what to do by voting here.  Also, leave a comment if you have more to add!
