You fear "for" your squirrels??? Those rodents are the most efficient
basil
killers in my neighborhood. Not only do they dig up all of my seedlings,
but they chewed up my birdfeeder, ate all the hyacinths in the water
garden,
pilfered tomatos, and then proceeded to cackle with glee after their havoc
wreaking sessions on my garden. I wish that hawk would swing by this
direction!

last week they chewed the top off of a sturdy plastic screw top container
full of bird seed on my deck. since it was full it was too heavy to knock
over so they eventually had to go inside the container to get down to the
bottom. they aren't fazed by crushed red pepper either. i just can't be
outsmarted by rodents!
