why they eat break lines?

Probably the same reason a dog will lick antifreeze i am guessin?

Going to put the trellis in place up by the mail box tomorrow. And also consider where else i want bulbs. Maybe in the big planters i have nothing in. Tulips would be safer from varmints in a containers.

The squirrels are their accomplices.

In our yard, I think the squirrels do more damage than the deer. The squirrels eat the apples, as well as team up with the birds to devour our mulberries. And forget about the walnut tree! The squirrels think they own it, especially one little red squirrel who even tries to chase away the larger gray squirrels - he was even upset with our chickens when they were hanging out underneath "his" tree! lol

I love/hate squirrels... sending fruit to the deer not makin me happy. On the breakfast plate. Works for me... And can anyone tell me why they eat break lines?

They're after salt. Road salt builds up on everything under your vehicle.

Dump hot sauce around the area of the wheel...or directly to the lines...they're not a fan of Texas Pete.

You poke toothpicks into the sides of the avocado pit on 4 sides to suspend it.

I got a new garden flag for less than half price! I was getting tired of looking at the turkey!

Very pretty Cap.

Yes, that's a nice one, love it! I really need to get a flag for winter, too. Have them for spring/summer, and fall, but not for winter. And winter is when we could use a little extra color outside the most. Right now since I don't have a winter flag, I hung a suet feeder on it instead - lol

I can't believe the woodpeckers around here have not figured out what the suet feeder is for. They were breeding in a nearby tree this summer. There are many different species locally. I may try cleaning the bird feeder again. None of them seemed interested this summer in it either but they may get hungry.
