I have become a "Follower" of yours so I won't miss a post.<br /><br />Kenton and Rebecca: Your comment led me to your blog (the cycle continues) and I was delighted with what I found there. You too are now on the list of blogs I follow. I'm looking forward to visiting again soon.<br /><br />Nature Girl: Believe my, the thought of squirrel stew has crossed my mind. Thanks for the red pepper suggestion. I'd heard that it may work, but your delivery system sounds like just the ticket.

Such a delightful flower!<br /><br />Squirrel: the other white meat. <br /><br />You may need to tether the cat outside for a while - a little furry discouragement for the squirrels.<br /><br />Seriously, though, if your plants actually survive, you might want to try this: mix cayenne pepper with baby powder and put the whole mixture into a sock and knot the end. Then go up to your plants and whack the side of the sock with a stick. The contents will puff out and leave a coating on the plants. This is one of the recommendations for detering rabbits, and I know cayenne is used in birdseed to discourage squirrels. Maybe it will help.Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2662118368553266438.post-31207806436101770632009-05-06T12:04:00.000-04:002009-05-06T12:04:00.000-04:00Greetings Jackie!
