I have what looks like a strawberry plant in my garden, but the fruits turn bright red when they are still tiny and don't look like strawberries. Is this a type of "fake" strawberry plant?

Spinach (also English spinach) 19 Oct, Monique (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
Hi, wondering if anyone can help me out. My spinach is being eaten like crazy and I can't seem to figure out what is eating it. Not only are all the leaves full of holes, but a lot of the leaves seem to have bites taken out of. It happens the moment new leaves start growing. Could this be a worm? And what can I do to prevent this? Whatever it is seems to only be targeting my spinach plants. I grow lettuce and tomatoes as well as cucumber, zucchini and bush beans and none of these plants have been eaten.

Spinach (also English spinach) 03 Dec, Nicol (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
This also happened to me, but it wasn't insects - it was birds having an early dawn feed. I placed bird netting over my crop and they've not been eaten since. I think the bird netting also keeps out flying insects which prevents them laying their eggs in the seed bed and therefore no worms/caterpillars to eat the leaves.

Cabbage 18 Oct, Joseph Mavhetha (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
What type of soil is suitable for cabage and how many times do you need to water it. And what chemical is used to stop bacteria from damaging it.
