A while back, I wrote a post about planting Crocus sativus in my garden. The original bulbs were a bit dried out, so the wonderful people at Marde Ross & Co. offered to send me replacements in the fall. These were nice, plump beauties.
Since planting them, there has been a squirrel massacre. I keep seeing bits of chomped on bulbs sitting on top of the planter. I had them so perfectly protected before with the old bulbs. Not sure why I dropped the ball so badly this time. Hopefully I will have 1 or 2 come up.
I had the same bad luck with garlic. Voles ate them!
I will know to heavily surround these with wire if you show some success and I give it a try.
Getting things potted and dug in here.
