Hmm.
Squirrels make a lot of sense. They always make a meal out if my garden. They've been eating pine cones, tomatoes, all the apples from my apple tree and buds from my neighbors shrubs. I don't have that many more pods left in the backyard so I may try spraying them with a pepper spray I use to keep them from eating all the birdseed in the winter. I wish the stray cats would chase the squirrels away but they are so ornery in the city the cats just leave them alone. They aren't even afraid of hawks!
