AI6YR BenEither, the squirrels will avoid the garden *or* they will salivate and eat everything I have sprinkled with hot pepper.

I found our local mouse adores the hot pepper we put out as a deterrent, carefully extracting all the flakes, even in the gravel.

@PaulWermer 😬 Uh oh! SPICY MOUSE
John@ai6yr also:
Slice and salt a cucumber.
Wait 10 minutes, drain then add:
1 tbsp of that chili powder
2 tbsp of rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 tsp sesame oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 green onion
Shake. Shake. Shake.
Helenisenough@buckfiftyseven @ai6yr sounds amazing, you lot are very kind to your squirrels

That gochugaru adds amazing flavour to kimchi!

@EllenInEdmonton LOL, so I was wandering round the same store looking (and not finding) anything labeled as gochugaru to make kimchi 🤪 (really)
@ai6yr Haha, it was labelled just fine, you just don’t know how to read ê³ ì¶”ê°€ë£¨!
You can use whatever is leftover in that bag!

@EllenInEdmonton Oh, most of the bag is left, I just sprinkled a tiny little bit on a few plants to discourage the squirrel! Which means I have to go find some other cheap pepper for the squirrels, and use the good stuff there to make more kimchi, lol.
@ai6yr Perfect, you’re all set, whenever you’re ready to make kimchi. Maybe roast your coffee beans first, but it’s your call! #kimchi is a really fun food project. I make it the easy way, chopping the Napa cabbage into 1 inch chunks before brining for a few hours. Once that’s drained, it’s about a 30-minute job to mix up all the other ingredients and jar your ferment. Save the leftover brine for other #fermentation projects like jalapeños or kosher-style pickles.

Muro deGrizecoNow the raptors will start getting used to increasingly spicy squirrels.
A runaway enhottening will ensue!
Mosquitos seeking blood will find Spicy V8 flowing in their victims, and will explode on ingestion...
Or adapt and become dangerously spicy, themselves.

Wasn´t there a commercial for Tabasco once that was build around a very similar idea?

C.Not all animals give a fig about capsaicin. I had a litter of foster bunnies that jumped on a table where I had a paper bag full of my entire year's harvest of Thai Dragon peppers drying. They ate it all, flesh, seeds, bag included.
Didn't bother them a bit.

Seeing this squirrel... 🤔
"If there´s something nuts in your neighbourhood. Who you gonna call?
Ghostsquirrels."
@ai6yr Reminds of those stories where they tried to scare elephants away from fields by using very high-capsaicin chilipowder.
Not sure how that story ended.

@ai6yr thanks for the seasoning. It was otherwise bland
