Couple years ago, I used to feed the squirrels. Some would even come right up to me, and practically take peanuts out of my hand.
That was a couple years ago.
Those previously-cute fockers have dug up every pot I ever had, killing seedlings in the process -- forcing me to buy a cheap greenhouse just to keep them out. And they still dig into everything I need to leave out to flower (bees can't get in -- yet).
I don't want to hurt them, but at the same time, I really want to hurt them!
But they finally left me a gift this year! One of them buried a peanut in one of my pots, and to my surprise, it's sprouted, and it's getting big! Yes, it's now in the greenhouse.
I like WATCHING squirrels, but those fockers are biotches!
