Well, I know everyone on this list is having a proper socially distanced, quiet Christmas because we all have time to discuss squirrel depredations! I haven’t had much trouble with them here in Portland even though I keep the door to my greenhouse open. They will dig a bit in pots outside, however. I know we have rats around here (scared one in the compost bin) but so far they haven’t developed a taste for bulbs. Knock on wood. If anyone is having trouble with the bushy tailed rats cleaning out their bird feeders I can heartily recommend the Squirrel Buster hanging feeders. I’ve had them for years and the squirrels have not managed to best them yet.
