Last summer, my backyard turned into a squirrel buffet. Every morning, I’d find half-eaten tomatoes and dirt everywhere. Instead of giving up, I started using old CDs to scare them off. I hung them from sticks around my plants, and the shiny reflections actually worked. The squirrels hated it! I also started watering early in the morning. The soil stayed moist longer, and my tomatoes looked way happier. Mixing coffee grounds into the dirt made a huge difference too—my plants grew stronger, and the smell kept pests away. Watching those tomatoes ripen, I felt like a gardening genius. Turns out, a little creativity and some kitchen scraps can save your harvest and make the whole process way more fun. #gardeningtips #backyardhacks #growyourown #tomatoplants #Gardening
