Battle Squirrel 2014

Well, that organic squirrel deterrent wasn't.

Not much from the spring planting survived.


A few broccoli.


Some herbs and peas.


And the pretty pansies, which really have been cheering.

The onions were squirrel-proof, as promised.  A few got dug up and nibbled, but the rest were entirely left alone.  But they didn't stop the squirrels from traipsing their way through and eating all the greens.

So, we're trying something new.

Stephen built me a few pest-deterrent cages.





 
(He had lots of help.)

Wood frame, covered in chicken wire.



All right, you vermin.  Here's another salad bar for you.  Come and get it.
