I Can't Sleep, The Squirrel's Will Eat Me...
Well... It started last year, the Squirrel's destroyed 80% of my Garden and the only thing I had left was the Peppers. So this year I was going to go heavy on the Peppers and less on others and see what happens. Put out 6 of my best peppers in there new 5gal pots to start hardening them off, came home and three of the six were chewed off at the base and there were dig holes in all the pots. After recycling the pot/dirt for another Pepper I found Peanuts in the very bottom on the pots. The neighbor's feed these little tree rats, so the Cage Match is on...
Bright side is they do have a lot of benefits besides keeping the Vermin out. My beds get full sun ( 14hrs ) so putting shade cloths on the top helps them out during the hottest part of the day and affords me a Kool Hardening Off Station. Plus the frame makes it easy to tie up unruly plants, so all's well that ends well...
Now I have to build 5 more of these bad boys and plum them out for easy watering...
