Suggestions please!!   I am an animal lover but hate grey squirrels...so far they have taken all bar 10 apples left on my 60 year old apple tree, eaten my cherries and figs (which i might add were netted) Dug up my little rhubarb plants and used the pots to dust bath in and destroyed 6 squirrel proof bird feeders that we have put extra wire on to stop them breaking in.  
To top it off last year I waited and waited for my spring bulbs to bob up and nothing... I waited another month or two thinking maybe they were late coming through, soooo wrong....little grey bleepers had eaten my bulbs and replaced them with 3 well dug in conkers!!  not impressed.  The nice weather earlier in the year has meant they have been more successful than ever this year, the other day I counted 8 of them frolicking in the garden, I swear they were laughing and flicking the v's at me.  They are driving me nuts and I have now resorted to thoughts of an unsavory kind.... https://www.wildmeat.co.uk/blogs/news/sq...uld-try-it
Unfortunately my other half is a real bunny huger and will not even squish the odd fly!!   so going down the eating road is not an option, unless i do a chicken surprise dish for him!!   

Muah ha ha!!

Hi all,

Just joined and finding my way around the site.  I am a keen gardener in my spare time, love growing my own organic veg and fruit.  I love wildlife too with the exception of Grey Squirrels!! 
I live next to the woods so am fortunate to be able to go foraging at various times of the year for wild fruits/garlic etc.  I have two ex-battery chickens 'Ellie & Edna' that are free range in my garden.  They like nothing more than to wake up the neighbours on a quite sunny mornings, luckily I have kind neighbours that I can keep sweet with fresh eggs and home made cakes passed over the fence, so all good.

My dream has always been to create a cottage garden for butterflies,bees and wildlife.  This year i have finally manged to do this in pots and they look great. I am a sucker for buying seeds at the garden centers especially if they are reduced.  I can normally be found in the Search and rescue area of the garden center, taking pity on the scrawny half dead plants during the Autumn and Winter months.   I have found this is the best time to buy them at a fraction of their price, come spring time the following year everything bursts back to life.  I have also become slightly obsessed with Salvias recently.  I currently have 15 different varieties in my garden and have taken a lot of cuttings this year, so next years garden will be even better!

Look forward to chatting to folk
