Squirrels

And no he's not called Hot Tits by the way!

And you are?

By the way, if you liked the Blake, here's one by Jon Silkin. It mentions a squirrel, but nothing about how to keep them off plants:

He was a nice guy too. Corresponded with him about an article I was researching on Wilfred Owen ... never published it.

There is a flaw in your plan Eric.....there will soon be so many of the critters that you will have to take another job to pay for the Viagra........and your doctor will think you are having a whale of a time!

although there is no indication as to what effect the pill will have on worms i have a bloomin good idea what effect viagra will have on a worm

What a lovely thought provoking poem. I think a love of animals reveals a lot about someone's personality. I know one or two folk who cant be doing with animals at all, which has always puzzled me.

I have only ever seen the red ones on the Isle of Wight, but never managed to get a picture of one...despite a lot of patience.

Last time I saw red ones was in Bolton a few years ago

Most of ours are black ... with a few grays. Reds are rare. I guess they don't compete all that well in the squirrel world.

Well ... it's almost time to try my devil's mix of white pepper, cayenne, and chili. The garden centres are opeining; so, I'll get myself a hanging basket and dose it with the mix. See what happens. If it works: good. If it doesn't, I'll try something else. Anything ... well anything short of buckshot.

Looks like we have other pests in the 'hood. Cats are going missing, and coyotes have been spotted hanging around at nite. Cats are a big item on their menu. Can't blame the coyotes; after all, we build our homes on their land. And it's been a hard winter for them too. However, there's general agreement among my neighbours that the sound of a little gunfire at nite will not be reported to the local constabulary.

So, if there are any coyote experts among you, can you come up with an alternative to a Winchester .270?

Never mind chillies or coyotes Eric, get yourself a Coopers Hawk.
