Recently, I was thinking cinnamon would help. I don't
know why I thought that, but it popped into my head
and I dug a little hole before I planted a seed. And the
hole was about 3 inches deep and I decided well, I
like cinnamon, maybe I'll get some cinnamon flavored
sunflowers! So I sprinkled some cinnamon in there,
just a small amount out of a cinnamon shaker, I was
thinking, what the heck, it can't hurt anything and might
make something better. So I covered the cinnamon with
about an inch of soil, threw a little more cinnamon in
and then covered it with another inch, then threw the
seed in, then filled the remaining inch with soil. I then
gave it some water. That was yesterday.

Today, I was going around and looking at things and I
noticed a three inch deep hole where I had planted the
sunflower seed.

Now I didn't see a squirrel actually digging the hole, but
I know it was a squirrel. Squirrels sometimes get on a
branch and watch me as I'm messing around. They are
sometimes no more than 6 feet away from me. And I've
when I've planted some seeds in the past, if there was a
squirrel nearby, the seeds would be dug up the next day.

Well, I don't know that the squirrels were really after the
seeds, they just seen someone burying something and I
think they like to bury and hide things as well and they
like to dig things up.

And they appearantly like cinnamon!

Put some cinnamomum verum on the nose of any animal
and a squirrel might try to eat it.
