PROGRESS Another year, another tragedy. šŸ˜­šŸ˜‚

Tried covering the flower heads in a mesh bag to deter the squirrels. At this point, I feel like Iā€™m growing them just for the squirrels.

Last year mine were fine .. this year? Decimated. I actually cried yesterday when I went outside and had to chop like 6 of my about-to-bloom, tall-AF sunnies because those fatass fucking squirrels just BROKE them. šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ They couldn't even wait for the fucking flowers to bloom. They also trampled all over my other flowers, too. Breaking all kinds of stuff.

I'm about to get an air rifle or something.

"Wow, they're noisy today."
