Dear readers and random scrollers of digital feeds,
It has come to my attention that this year’s pumpkin crop is in terrible danger!!…
FROM SQUIRRELS!!!
AIEEEEEEE!!!
Yes, those tiny, cute terrors are running amok, tearing up porch pumpkins, left and right…and center, evennn. No gourd is safe from their ravaging little fangs. Not even fresh seeds seem sufficient to satisfy their ravenous appetites.
If you haven’t noticed, the fuzzy rodents have been extra frisky, this year. I expect a big boost in their population next spring.
Be advised to check the tails of your local squirrel population. If the tails are quite bushy, we may be in for a colder-than-usual or longer-than-usual winter. If the tails are relatively flat, then you can rest easy, knowing the winter will be mild/short.
LEAN = MILD AND/OR SHORT WINTER
I’ve heard spraying pumpkins with a vinegar solution can deter the squirrels, but I don’t want to turn my pumpkins into German potato salad.
