Does anyone have an idea how to keep squirrels out of hanging baskets? They
climb up and sit in the middle of the plant.

Thanks,

Mary Ann

Of all things salt.. Pour a generous amount of salt on the top soil and
watch your squirrel problems disappear!

Along with your plant, of course, since it won't like the salt any
better than the squirrels.

Try something prickly like rose cane cuttings

Indeed... as it'll kill the plant.
No plant, no squirrel.

AND if some joker tells you your plants need a little toddy to relax, be
aware that plants don't like alcohol either. My roommate once watered
my first-ever houseplant, a pretty heart ivy, with her whiskey and coke.
It died.
