Now, there's so many acorns they're ripping my lettuce to shreads as they fall.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-43956131385842433342009-09-18T07:37:32.766-04:002009-09-18T07:37:32.766-04:00You're still getting attacked?

I just can't imagine why they didn't start this earlier...not that I'm disappointed, that is.<br /><br />Grafix, I'm now even more perplexed because I've realized the only way to the railing for a squirrel would be to climb up and across the screening of the screened porch. We had the gate on the stairs shut....either they scampered up the wood or across the porch.<br /><br />Stef, it's times like these that I wished I didn't build long boxes or put them in the shape that I did. It's not going to be easy to cover them.Ribbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01460673212389110633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-38556298986369366732009-09-17T23:22:08.918-04:002009-09-17T23:22:08.918-04:00But a little cone of screening or hardware cloth w...But a little cone of screening or hardware cloth will stop both squirrels and birds.

This morning I found my sungold tomato plant & eggplant laying flat on the ground, raccoons I think. Then this evening the squirrels snapped off my sunflowers and ate the undeveloped seeds. I've just come to the conclusion that I can beat these creatures, I just hope I harvest more then they do.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930778534030920874.post-10642137333791256492009-09-17T17:18:39.451-04:002009-09-17T17:18:39.451-04:00Could be a number of things....squirrels have just...Could be a number of things....squirrels have just recently found my paste tomatoes, as there were about 4 half eaten fruit laying beneath the plants. Several holes were dug in the flowerbed, as well. As cold weather nears, I fear the activity will only progress.Jeff Vandiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200011426236637927noreply@blogger.com
