hahaha, that sucks man. But I feel your pain. The squirrels in my area are like a mafia. They get into everything. Seriously, a few hours after I made this post, they had already severed off the stalks of my green pepper plant and my jalapeno plant. For fucks sake. I went to Lowe's and bought two fake owls, we'll see how that works...

But regardless of lasts years failures, get back to it man, it's therapeutic and nothing beats eating the fruits of your labor....that could be taken literally I might add ;)
