Every day, I come home to the carnage of the squirrels and birds. Yesterday, they completely knocked over the planter on the bottom right, breaking it and spilling the dirt all over the back porch. Today, they dug a four-inch deep hole and uprooted three marigolds in the front yard (left and top right).
Despite the pesky squatters on my land, I cannot resist planting. I brought home a trunk full of clearance flowers from Lowe's, including (clockwise) three flats of portulaca, a dahlia, and a flat of coleus. We'll see how long it takes for the squirrels and birds to uproot them...
