Squirrels Digging In My Potted Salad Burnet

Question

Can I bring my salad burnet inside for the winter? The squirrels keep digging in my pot.

It is worth a try as many herbs can be grown inside if they have enough light. Salad burnet, however, loses flavor as it ages, and it is recommended to start new plants once the plants go to seed. If yours have already gone to seed, you can start the seeds indoors for the winter, or just wait till spring. Here is more:
