Okay, does anyone else have trouble with squirrels eating their plants?

It doesn't matter what I put out - that little &*$%^%& eats it. Sandi, remember the photos I sent of my little baskets by the mailbox? Well, the one had both marigolds dug out, AND the cedar sage is now about 3" tall. The other just got topped on all three plants. WHY?? It also ate all of my callas (all three) down to nubs. I'm almost afraid to put anything in my front beds! It doesn't matter that we've had oodles of rain and our neighbor waters constantly - that little tree rat comes over and eats all MY plants. ARGH!!!!!

Guess I'm going to pick up a casket of habaneros for some pepper spray and sit on the front porch with a bb gun.

I don't mind gardening for wildlife, but not all of my plants are for THEM. Grumbling Grumbling Grumbling
