The worst has happened

[fbhjr]

That blight to my crops has appeared!*


Yes! A squirrel has discovered my window box!


It showed little fear of humans and didn’t leave until I actually opened the door to go after it.
Hopefully it won’t return. Hopefully when it does it won’t like onions. Hopefully it won’t see the mellon in between the onions.
I guess squirrel trap needs to be added to my project list.

Game night was fun.
julytooth brought a magnet game we hadn’t played before. Not too many people there tonight, but still fun.


*Yeah, my crops are one window box. But, onions, mellon and garnish can still be crops. I’m not saying I’m a farmer. But, I had hopes of growing something I could eat.

Squirrel conspiracy!

I sense a mechanical engineering solution in the works!

Perhaps you can devise something that would snap large rubber bands at the squirrels if they try to get into the box. Perhaps a few snaps in the head will scare them off - We could work up an electrical solution too - a home made taser though that might become problematic if you venture out to harvest or weed and forget to turn it off!

It was tough choosing which of my squirrel icons to use!

We have a rubber band gun, they are just brazen and wait for the door. And Bobcat poo did not dissuade them
