Description

'The squirrel is making a lot of plant damage... climbing up the sunflower and jumping off... it has managed to get hold of the bird feeders... It has broken so many plants and dug other up... burying or looking for nuts...
Cleared away plants hanging over path to door and dug over the soil... putting [?] sticks in to deter the cats from soiling... also put in some slates along the edge to hold the earth... scattered poppy seeds along the edge...'
