I'm trying to make some connections...
We often have a large ant hill in our front yard. It's noticeable mid-summer when the soil is dry... Then a dusty mound emerges in the grass...
How to get rid of ants without chemicals, I remember googling...
Somewhere I came across an answer: Ants hate lemon peel...
Hmmm. I often buy lemons. Why not toss the peel into my flower beds and see what happens.
So I did - all last summer and last winter - mainly into the large front flower bed... where NO tulip flowers were snapped off by squirrels this year...
But in a smaller bed, where I had tossed NO LEMONS, two out of four tulip flowers were missing.
Is there a connection?! Does lemon peel deter squirrels?!
I guess I'll keep tossing my lemon peels into flower beds - at least wherever I have tulips.
I have yet to discover if lemon deters ants!
