I've mentioned before that I have a problem with squirrels tearing up my garden. Well, now that it's fall, this problem is getting even worse. I came home from work on Tuesday to find that the boxes with lettuce and arugula seeds, and little snow pea plants were TOTALLY DUG UP. There were holes everywhere, and more than one snow pea plant was throw askew. Those squirrels make me so angry!
Today is the day we begin to remedy the problem. Covers for the boxes!
We built a square frame from some cheapy wood from Home Depot.
Done frame! 56"x56"
Husband's dad bought us a roll of chicken wire. (How sweet!)
The dog was supervising, and barking at strangers, squirrels, and cats. Good Dog!
Done! (There aren't any pics in between because it's hard to take photos while making the frame =])
It's kinda lumpy, but that's chicken wire for ya. I'm sure we can make a nicer one. For now, this one is functional, and will keep those stupid squirrels out!
There's only one made so far; it took a lot longer that we thought it would, plus we're out of wood... The covered box has snow peas and lettuces.
Baby lettuces!
Snow peas are getting tall =]
