Re: CULT:Squirrel Damage

While I don't have pictures, the ones I planted for my Mom all were 
ravaged by squirrels this year. This was New York, Long Island. I 
don't understand it because I live in NJ where there are tons of 
squirrels and they don't bother the iris at all. Maybe it has 
something to do with the food supply and the draught.
Does anyone know of something that would deter squirrels, as I would 
like to replant my Mom's iris bed?
