Subject: So what all are people planting this spring?

Squirrels got every single crocus bulb I planted within 24 hours from
when I
planted them. *******s.

Just a thought, flace, but you might try planting some Garlic cloves on
top of the Crocus. The little buggers might not smell them with Garlic
on top. :-)

That's a great idea, Phoenix, thanks.

I've got a bunch of garlic cloves to plant anyways. Perhaps I will do
that with the rest of my bulbs. Or at least some...

7 out of 10 Squirrels like garlic for an appetitzer pleasure before they
partake of crocus.I would suggest the use of land or trip mines especially
very tiny bounching bettys.Then again , you might want to think in terms of
constructing a medieval like moat around your garden. I do not think that
catapults will be
nessecary especially if said moats are stocked with crocodiles or piranha..
Just be sure to raise your draw-bridge immediately after leaving your
garden.

you're welcome [ in advance ]

You don't think this is a tiny bit over the top... Mostly moats were
built to keep humans out not Squirrels, and the cost involved would be
such that stocking your whole garden with bulbs for squirrels to eat for
the next hundred years might be slightly cheaper...
not that I want to put you down or anything, your ideas are very
imaginative... if somewhat insane...
