June 18, 2021Q.How To Stop A Critter From Digging Up My Potted Plants During The Night
I have a number of plants and a variety of problems with critters...rabbits eating off the hosta, squirrels digging up bulbs, but I can't figure out what nocturnal animal is destroying my potted plants by digging during the night, even when the pots are on tables several feet off the ground. Rabbit Scat powder hasn't worked. It's hard to put chicken wire up high enough to not damage the taller plants. What kind of critter could this be and what can I do to save my plants?

Bristol illinoisQ.What Is Wrong Here?
Last year I built a new raised bed. We had great success with the garden. This year I planted 4 tomato plants, beans, a few onion sets and 2 eggplants. I mixed marigold and basil in the garden. It's been a month of heat and drought so I have been watering well a couple times a week. The last few days one, and only one, of my tomato plants started to droop and curl on the new growth. It is quickly getting worse. I have never had this problem. My plan is to remove it to a separate pot and see what happens. Can you tell me what may be going on?

June 21, 2021Q.How Can I Discourage Chipmunks From Digging Up My Flowers?
This year chipmunks are digging holes all over the ground next to the walkway from my driveway to front door. I have tried to discourage them with Repels-All and with a solution of cayenne pepper and water but they continue to dig. When I planted flowers they dug tunnels next to the flowers. This has never happened before. What to do?
