The squirrels have won the battle of the corn. Earlier in the month they finished off the miniature pop corn eating every ear. Now as the yellow corn is maturing they have gone after that. There are one or two ears that aren't yet eaten but they'll have those in a day or two. More than likely I won't get a single ear. They start in on it before it is ready to pick which pretty much guarantees they get it all. Squirrels are not a gardeners best friend.

For a while, those pesky squirrels got most of Stella's cherry tomatoes, until she bought some netting and wrapped the plants; now she gets most of them, all except the ones on the surface that can be nibbled through the nets. I don't know if this works with corn or not...
I've tried the netting and it helps a bit but they typically crawl up the stalk to the ears and netting doesn't stop that. Thanks for the suggestion though.
