@#$%&* Squirrel!

UGH!  I put all the plants out on the porch last week to get them some fresh air, and sunshine.  It's been nice enough that I've been able to leave them out there.  But when I checked on them after the first full day, some stupid squirrel had been digging in them.  No real damage that I can see, except for lots of little holes dug in all of the pots.  And in almost every single one!  AND he threw dirt all around the porch!  It had to have been a "he".  (Girls don't make that big of a mess.)

He's been back several times, and dug more holes in some plants that he'd been to already.  This weekend, I'll take some advice that I was recently given, and put some gumballs on top of the soil to try to deter the little sh#%.  

And I'll try to take some updated pictures of the plants from how they did this winter (not so great, I'm afraid!)
