Dear Heloise: To deter snails (and bunnies) from eating my small marigolds and other young plants, I bought about 50 small coated, wire baskets from the dollar store. I flip them over to cover my plants so the snails (and bunnies) can’t get to them. This has helped a lot! -- Diane G., La Verne, California
Dear Heloise: If you are offered the option to plant a tree as a memorial, strongly consider doing it. When my husband recently passed away, the funeral home offered links to florists or to plant a memorial tree. I asked where the trees are planted. The company that they work with will plant the trees wherever in the country they are needed; say, after a wildfire or a tornado. My hubby was very much an outdoors person. I wish more people would do this. Thanks. -- Barb Hilton, via email
