Keeping the squirrels out.

We've got more squirrels here than any other place we've lived. Plenty of acorns for them too. Though I hear someone nearby feeds them corn. Ugh! Can't plant anything without them coming to investigate. By that I mean digging out your carefully planted flowers, plants, and shrubs just as soon as you leave the yard!!

I have found one thing that slows them down quite a bit is dried sago palm fronds. Those palms are painful when they are green and even worse when they're dried. The squirrels don't like to mess with them. So we keep one sago palm (not my favorite shrub) around just for mulch. 

Happy  Gardening!
