Phew!!! As of 2 days ago, we finally got it all planted. Along the way, I bought other interesting varieties...and when finally we thought we were finished, Lowes had theirs for 75% off!!! Hundreds more bulb orphans adopted. They had been frozen and VERY dry, but hopefully there was enough life in them to succeed. I did not use any screening or covers. A month or so after planting anemones, I saw where there were a coupke of fresh holes...then saw the culprit in the act...gray squirrel. We do have raccoons and opossums but they don't seem interested. Luckily, no further digging is in evidence. But the Crocus just went in...we'll see.
In thus latest planting, while digging I hit a number if previously planted bulbs. SIGH...
I may have been inclined to buy a carload of sniwdrops at 75% off. We never saw any. That too may be lucky!!!
We are already seeing 1-2 inch anemone shoots.
