Squirrels

Over the past couple of weeks--since the ground surface thawed--I have had a problem with squirrels burrowing in the garden. They actually have been doing it all over the yard, but it's only in the garden that it becomes a nuisance. They don't dig very deep, but they do root around the plants and bulbs, occasionally burying the plants, or digging up the roots. They do not target the bulbs, but they do seem to appreciate the softer soil in the garden to dig in. At this point they have not done any serious damage, but I plan to monitor their activity. My assumption is that as more alternative food sources become available their digging activity will abate.
