We’ve had difficulties over the
years with 13-lined ground squirrels. If there are seeds in it, they’ll
do whatever it takes to get to the seeds. I’ve found green bell peppers
with holes in the sides from ground squirrels feeding. They can decimate dried
corn, sunflowers, etc. They just climb as much as needed. Bill William H. Shoemaker Sr. Research Specialist, Food Crops 630-584-7254, FAX-584-4610 From:

[mailto:market-farming-bounces AT lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Nora Owens After being away for a couple of days, I
harvested tomatoes and noticed that a number had been eaten, bites out of the
sides of ripe ones. Has anyone heard of squirrels eating tomatoes? Also, at the
same times, a number of sunflower blossoms have vanished. We don’t have
vandals, so am wondering if it is being done by squirrels, too. I’ve seen
a few in the garden recently. Any help will be good, also solutions, please. Nora, Keets’ Croft, W. MA |
