I am wondering why the squirrels around here are not a problem (crossing my fingers)? They are all over the place around here and have not bothered any of my garden plants. May be the acorns and pine nuts are all they want. Then again I have two big ole dogs that chase them off. Cashmere even chases after the birds. Aladdin does not bother the birds. I guess he has learned he will never get one just ambling up to them.

I think it’s partly because we have so many of the stupid things! Hunters used to keep them thinned out. Now everyone thinks they’re cute and feeds them. They empty out my bird feeders faster than I can fill them. I have 3 rat terrorists and they loathe squirrels but they do more damage to the garden chasing them than the squirrels do digging. Besides, the squirrels jsut wait until we go back in the house.
