I had a groundhog problem - fenced in the whole yard and all the holes. so that is (fingers crossed) resolved hopefully!

However, now squirrels are eating my hollyhocks - they were on top of the patio table - i was away for five days and came back to find the ones that had grown back after the ghog - all the leaves were eaten! and the squirrels ate the malva leaves - some of them - from the plant in the ground.

luckily they are leaving everything else (whew!) at least for now.

so any ideas on how to keep the squirrels away?
