Squirrels - Ba Humbug
I usually don't mind squirrels around the yard and garden, but the last several years have produced a bunch that are irratating me. They seem insistant upon digging in my flower pots, knocking them over, breaking them and making a mess. Check out last month's project - hanging pots. I put the pots outside my kitchen door so I could easily snip some herbs as needed. The squirrels have destroyed the grouping of pots by jumping onto them, breaking the twine and smashing the pots. This morning I had to plant the herbs in the vegetable garden to save what is left of them. I lost one lobelia plant and repotted the other two. Two pots are smashed. It was bad enough when one of the squirrels came in the house, but this new destruction is grating on me. I suppose I shouldn't be too upset. After all, their brains are the size of walnuts.
