Or sprinkle shredded strong smelling soap around your plants.

We also mix them with sunflower seeds and add a couple of dashes of tabasco when filling the bird feeder so the squirrels won't get into the feeders. Birds love to eat them. My girlfriend keeps parrots and feeds them jalapeno's. She says they aren't effected by the heat.

We have potatoes, carrots, radishes, lettuce,zuchini. had lettuce thinnings for dinner tonight. Planted 5 tomato plants today, 4 big boys, 1 roma; basil, parsley. Have mint and chives from the past.
Lots of flowers. Planted 50 glad bulbs last week,in a border with stocks, lilies, marigolds, phlox, alyssum. (Looong border that runs along a retaining wall.) Delphenians(sp??) My daffodils crocus and tulips are mostly a memory now, lilacs are starting to bloom, the snowball bush is budding out.
