Question Of The Week

“We have a great question today from Jill.

squirrel

My squirrel-proof bird feeder doesn’t work.

Squirrels shimmyright up the post and eat all the seeds.

Don’t worry about the birds because birds don’t react to capsaicin.

It’s really a lot of fun.

Try these products from Cole’s, that’s C-O-L-E-‘S.

They have a couple different products.

So, everyone out there listening, if you have a problem with squirrels.

Plant Of The Week

Goodness Grows Veronica, it’s a perennial, common name is Speedwell.

I have it in my garden and I love it.

It’s a compact perennial that forms a clump about a foot wide.

They stand, um, one to two feet tall.

And, they start appearing in spring.

And, they’re really easy to grow.

And they are good for people who live in USDA zones three to eight.
