I've got my squirrels trained so that if I look out the window & see them digging in something, they'll run away if I knock on the window (or come out). Of course I have to catch them at it. Everything I plant has to be covered in chicken wire until the soil firms up again. The little rats even dug up a small redbud tree! I still haven't figured out how to protect my pots & planters from them. I ended up naming my garden "Squirrelhaven" because they think they own it.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21012673.post-76984463156026520312007-10-01T12:45:00.000-04:002007-10-01T12:45:00.000-04:00Gggrrrrr! pesky squirrels keep digging up all my p...Gggrrrrr! pesky squirrels keep digging up all my precious stuff too.
