Little Visitor..

We have a little visitors in the garden... though its not much of a surprise as they live in one of our trees. Mr and Mrs Squirrel have descended to the veggie garden to stock up for the winter. Its a progression from constantly driving Prince crazy by shaking his tail at him from the power lines

After leaving all our vegetables alone all summer... last week I noticed that the last of our cucumbers... and their vines.. had little nibbles taken out of them. It wasnt as much damage as the the rat invasion caused last year. That was just devastating and very upsetting.. but since new people moved into the house behind us and cleared their garden  we have had no problems

Then today a couple of our big tomatoes had huge chunks taken out of them. They were only eating the bright red ones... so I collected all the ones on the turn.. and the green ones held no interest. Im not too worried as the garden is coming to an end.. and they are leaving the rest of the crops alone... for now! I guess even squirrels need to feed their families!!

So we still have lot of bell peppers, 

Anaheim peppers, 

serranos and jalapenos growing.. 

but I will keep an eye on them. 

But I must say.. all in all.. this years veggie garden has been a success

Now I can start planning next years..
