Bon appetit, squirrels? If squirrels are a problem in the vegetable garden, there are 3 different deterrents:
1. Physical barriers: Place a row cover, anchored with stones or sandbags, to protect seedlings from squirrels. Tulle-like fabric or row covers can hinder squirrels.
2. Sensory deterrents: Spray plants with pepper or garlic, or use motion-activated sprinklers to startle them with water and sound.
3. Resistant plants: Grow strong-scented herbs like sage or mint to mask the scent of vegetables and deter their feeding.
