How do I keep squirrels from eating my flowers?
I used cayenne pepper by spritzing with water first then sprinkling with cayenne pepper, that seemed to work for awhile but eventually they will eat at the bottom of the stems. Arghhhhhh! Please help.

I have found moth balls are excellent at repelling critters of many types, even armadillos. Sprinkle them here and there around your plants, and at the edge of the flower plot or pot.
Add bloodmeal to the top of your potting mix.
We tried bloodmeal before and believe it or not that did not work here, we don’t know why.
thank you though for your kind response.
