The sweet lady also had a grocery store rubber tree she planted in the greenhouse floor, had to keep topping it because it kept hitting the ceiling. She also managed to get her bird of paradise to blossom consistantly. Anyway, squirrels. I have an ongoing battle on with squirrels. They are in my walls, eating my plants, and driving the cats crazy. The most satisfying solution is a waffle iron. Other than that, the best I have been able to do, is to plant portugese hot peppers around and among my other plants. See, the little blighters love peppers, the bell peppers are the very first thing they eat when wandering into my garden. They are not so good at differentiating between hot and sweet peppers either. It is truly a sight to see when one of the buggers bites into one of those hot peppers, they levitate about six feet straight up and then roll around on the ground pawing at their mouths in a frenzy. The squirrels also seem to back off a bit if I plant the herbs among the rest of the plants instead of in their own plot. Most of the herbs I plant are very fragrant, so I imagine it is a smell thing. St Johns Wort also puts them off somewhat, but that is only a consideration if you don't have any grazing animals.

It is truly a sight to see when one of the buggers bites into one of those hot peppers, they levitate about six feet straight up and then roll around on the ground pawing at their mouths in a frenzy. The squirrels also seem to back off a bit if I plant the herbs among the rest of the plants instead of in their own plot. Most of the herbs I plant are very fragrant, so I imagine it is a smell thing. St Johns Wort also puts them off somewhat, but that is only a consideration if you don't have any grazing animals.

The sweet lady also had a grocery store rubber tree she planted in the greenhouse floor, had to keep topping it because it kept hitting the ceiling. She also managed to get her bird of paradise to blossom consistantly. I like orchids, and have several, I usually keep them in the house in winter, and they go out in the greenhouse in spring. Anyway, squirrels. I have an ongoing battle on with squirrels. They are in my walls, eating my plants, and driving the cats crazy. Don't have a problem with them, though their are tons of trees around, and I often see them, they never come into my garden, It might be because I have always had an animal, a dog or cat, or both... Even when I was in between pets they never bothered me. The most satisfying solution is a waffle iron. Knowing my luck, I would hit myself with it Other than that, the best I have been able to do, is to plant portugese hot peppers around and among my other plants. See, the little blighters love peppers, the bell peppers are the very first thing they eat when wandering into my garden. They are not so good at differentiating between hot and sweet peppers either. It is truly a sight to see when one of the buggers bites into one of those hot peppers, they levitate about six feet straight up and then roll around on the ground pawing at their mouths in a frenzy. I don't think they learn very quickly if they keep coming back, if they don't like smelly herbs, have you tried Fennel it looks lovely a tall ferny plant and it smells strongly of aniseed, neither dogs nor cats will go near it The squirrels also seem to back off a bit if I plant the herbs among the rest of the plants instead of in their own plot. Most of the herbs I plant are very fragrant, so I imagine it is a smell thing. St Johns Wort also puts them off somewhat, but that is only a consideration if you don't have any grazing animals. It could be a problem if you do have grazing animals, as I don't have any trouble with squirrels or come to think of it rabbits in the house I am in now, I don't have to worry about my plants, the only things that can be a problem are birds if you are putting seeds straight onto the ground... But again my dog is very territorial, and if the birds spend long on the ground he is out the door and chasing them before they know what's happening NightMist -- Shez Shez's Garden at http://www.oldcity.f2s.com/shez/ |
