Step by step I get closer to declaring the winner

Step 1 - plant 2 rows of green beans in late May

Step 2 - plant 2 more rows in early June after a gray squirrel eats every new sprout


Step 3 - set the humane trap; add a carrot with peanut butter on top

Step 4 - plant 2 more rows in late June after the gray squirrel eats every sprout but one


["Only two left?" (Not any more!: photos GAH]

Step 5 - set trap again after other squirrels are caught (5 so far)

Step 6 - hold off planting beans for the fourth time until the evil gray squirrel is trapped

Step 7 - wait it out

***

Is there anything better than carrots with PB to tempt the gray squirrel?

Should I invest in a pellet gun?
