Cheekie Chappie!

I’ve just spotted a very cheeky squirrel, half way up one of my strawberry canes. Having been out to inspect them, the little b****r has munched his way up two canes and chomped his way through all the new growth on them! Methinks I need to go out and buy some protective netting today…

sprinkle chilli powder or flakes around -- it works on rabbits.....

Thanks Poppylover for the heads up about camellias. And thanks for the tip Pamg, I'll give it a try.

Good luck with the squirrel-proofing !

Thanks Terratoonie. I have sprinkled some chilli flakes around as suggested by Pamg, so we'll see what happens now!
