I'm going to have to try your rock trick. 2 years ago I secured garden webbing over all the crocus and hyacinth bulbs using tent stakes. Since then I've lost any new bulbs I've planted to my hungry little friends, because i wasn't vigilant. I love my little squirrel friends as much as any flower or vegetable in my garden. I spoil them with sunflowers every day, and the ones with white tummies are getting fat and sassy. I'll start a rock collection for any spring bulbs I have this year, and I'll stay optimistic. Thanks for the tip.
I love my squirrel friends, too, and would spoil them with sunflowers if only they wouldn’t pull them out of the ground before they’re a foot high! Maybe the secret is to plant so many they can’t get to them all?
