Having an outdoor nursery can be rewarding but can also have its challenges, mostly squirrels. They have made growing herbs, veggies, and palms from seed nearly impossible! Having exhausted alternative methods such as scent deterrents and cayenne pepper, I opted for a more proactive approach. By transforming an old dog crate into a secure enclosure wrapped in chicken wire, I successfully protected my seedlings from these marauding creatures. The cage's maiden test proved fruitful, with all seedlings remaining unscathed!
