Yeah I love squirrels as well. So smart. Little monkeys. My mates dad used to be very garden proud and hated the squirrels cos they ate all the young bulbs. So he used to catch them and drown them in a barrel of water he kept at the bottom of the garden.
It was this really beautiful garden, we used to go have a few beers and spliff in there, lounge about.
But there was always this malevolent drowning barrel in your sight.
Also, the dad purchased decorative porcelain squirrels to hang off the latticework.
The dark heart of gardening.
