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...

insane? You want effective or you want to skimp on money , penny pincher?
We are talking crocus here ! This is the best cash crop since Zappa's
Montana dental floss ranch !!!

I bet you have a potato in a jelly jar growing a vine in ya
window, don't ya? Yeah, thought so. Leave the aricultural
advice to us experts and you amatrues stick to raising sea
monkeys and mildew.

Nothing wrong with Insane, who wants to be normal... but most of us
don't have the budget to build a moat around the house, Besides the
neighbours might complain. I do live in a semi-detached house.
I don't grow potato vines on the window sill, I have a greenhouse for
potato vines in jars... Orchids, and the like.
Ps most gardeners are insane, )

However you can check out the garden below



That's really beautiful, Shez. Thanks for sharing.
