A squirrel dug up my ornamental sweet potato, Ipomoea! I have accepted this declaration of war!🤺 I’m not too mad. It gives me an excuse to buy another plant!😂 The local critters lost a lot of their food source both last year and this year. The 100°F heat wave of last summer and hurricane Beryl this year destroyed acorns, pine cones and palm seeds before they matured. Squirrels thrive on these and look for alternatives. Last year they dug out grub worms from lawns and gardens which is a good thing. Grubs leave destructive crop circles in the lawns. My sweet potato plant was going dormant preparing for next spring. It was easy target for a hungry squirrel.
