Paws Off

To cope with the last weeks of February, I planned a stellar back patio container garden. With the help of Steve and lots of library books, this weekend I moved one baby step toward home-grown tomatoes. I started some seeds inside, and sowed lettuce and kale outside in boxes I got for free (with the purchase of a bottle of beer - darn) at a local wine shop.
 

I was feeling really good about my methods of squirrel deterrent. Until I saw these guys on our back porch at the same time.
 
Hanging out in the sun. Mocking me.

I have the feeling that the sanctity of my stylish planters will not be respected.

It's on.
