Gardening With Squirrels
Our backyard truly belongs to the Mafia Squirrels. They run the show. They decide what lives or doesn’t live.
But we’ve figured out a few tricks to increase the odds our vegetables and other plants will survive.
If I’m planting seeds in a planter/container, I leave a gap between the soil and the top of a planter/container. Once the seeds are planted, I cover the top with wire netting/fencing, pinning it in place with sticks (so the squirrels can’t knock it off). The squirrels are unable to easily access the soil so they leave it alone.
I stick sticks or branches in the soil around bigger plants (like the tomatoes), creating a little fence. Again, this blocks access to the actual plant. And our squirrels DO dig up tomato plants.
(Tomato cages don’t stop the squirrels. The gaps are too large.)
I walk around the garden a couple times a day and replant dug up plants. Usually if I replant them right away, they will survive.
Hot pepper flakes or sauce WILL keep the squirrels away but only for a short time.

Strive For Forever
(This description is still VERY rough.)
This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.
Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host and is slowly draining her energy.
Soon, she’ll die.
Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.
Her plans do NOT include a smoldering hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.
While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.
The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.
There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.
And she is in danger.
Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.
Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
Strive For Forever is Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
