thanks to the many damn squirrels i got around here,
...i had planted about 60 califlower plants... and some lettuce,,cabbage,,brussel sprouts... e.t.c.
it was all about a foot tall. and i noticed the leaves were being ate,,, at first i thought it was a inscect so i sprayed poision,,
to no avail.. then i seen a leaf tore off the plant and laying at the base of it.... NO INSCECT DID THAT,,
so i put up a game camera and sure enough.... nothing but squirrells eating my crop. i would have put a bunch of mouse traps out in my area, tied to a stake. but i got a cat that roams freelly...
so i got a pellet rifle that shoots 550 feet per second,,, a pretty bad ass gun... so far ive killed 2 and many more to go,
damn squirrells,
but all is not a total loss... i instead ripped all my mat up and planted a cover crop of black clover,,,,and rye grass,,,and it's looking damn good... i'll have to get a pic of it ..and post it,
this is the first year ive done a cover crop. normally right after the last bacca plant is removed i plant the fall garden immediatlly,
im gonna slowlly but surelly kill every squirrell that comes on my property...and my neighbour may find a dead one laying in thier yard,,, if they are in range im dropping them...
