Next door's lad admired my sunflowers last year and pestered Mum to do
his own this year. A couple of days ago, I saw them putting the seeds in
the ground. I muttered about shouldn't they really go in pots indoors
because of frost, squirrels, etc. but apparently the instruction say
that's not necessary.

This morning, the kid looks out of the window and shriek! the local grey
squirrels are feasting :-(

Wire grills are now over the pot but I expect it's too late.

What is it with squirrels, I live next to a wood but the little B***** still
come in the garden to eat my Strawberrys and grapes. And they pick on my Cat
who is scared to go out when they are about.
At My parents (Near Cheltenham) they dig up their rear lawn every year.

Im getting sorely tempted to try the River cottage recipie....

I do enjoy the antics of the squirrels in the garden, but I was a bit
p***** Off when I found out it was one of them nicking the nectarines
off the tree I have in a pot......

Get a 'Mink/Rat' trap from Mole Valley Farmers and dispose of the things!
