Don't get me wrong, I think ground squirrels are really cute, but
tearing my sunflowers apart, and damaging the stalk with their weight. How

How does one keep flies off shit? Ben off Jennifer? Jimmy Carter off
peanuts? Bees off beebalm? Growing sunflowers in the presence of
squirrels is like filling the dogfood dish with quality kibble then
griping because the dog ate it.
