    Dear Mike,
    I am near 77 years (young), and love plants, trees, flowers and gardening. you are a wealth of information and I appreciate all your insight.

    Do you know of any successful way to keep the squirrels out of my plants? Everything I put outside is destroyed by the squirrels, it is heartbreaking because I love having flowers around.

    Thank you for sharing.

    Ellen

    Have enjoyed your you tube video very much. Even as a Master Gardener I find them very helpful and economical for most gardeners. Which I can appreciate since we try to make the most plants for the least amount of money.
