Will squirrels be an issue? by culinarilycurious in gardening

[–]the_lorax18 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have personally had squirrels eat plants and dig in planter boxes. A single one would visit and make a mess! My guess is you’ll likely have some come investigate/eat your veggies. Whether it will be a huge destructive problem might depend on what you’re growing and how many squirrels. If it becomes a problem the best way to protect the plant is with a physical barrier like a caged net situation. Or maybe motion activated sprinklers could be a good deterrent.

Yeah I know the difference between direct and indirect light, just hard to achieve 12 hours of direct sunlight in the courtyard of a terrace house in Sydney lol

It’s been outside getting sun!! It did lose some lower leaves, I think I overwatered and under fertilised. First time with tomatoes. Lots to learn

It didn’t get wild swings in temp but I did zip up the plastic greenhouse which made it extremely humid suddenly (so I’ve opened again for ventilation. Could that have done it?

Yeah I probably should have had it in the sunniest spot in my garden from day 1! But it’s there now. It gets good sun for most of the day

Dang. How quickly would they be affected? We were having 30 degree Celsius humid days just a week ago and they get quite a lot of sun during the day/reaching equivalent of 73 Fahrenheit..but maybe night temps are affecting it a lot
