Back inside for the day. Really tired as I have been working out in the garden these past few days and then afterward still doing my Gazelle machine workout as I am on a weight loss kick and have more weight still to loose. Don't know how much I will get done as I used up my energy out in the garden.
Working out in the garden today I see so many places where I could (and should) plant crocus as they would look so nice. Not that I didn't plant crocus last fall, I planted about 1,150. And I thought I did well at that number. But looking around it is apparent to me that I would need 5,000 more (yes 5,000) to plant them in most of the spots I think should have them.
I put 500 of those crocus I planted (large flowered mix) in the Southside rose garden and afterward I saw where the squirrels had been digging them up. But I thought they couldn't have gotten them all. Well, so far very, very, very few have come up there. I planted crocus in other places around the garden but apparently the squirrells left them alone and just had a feast with the ones in the roses garden. Drats! My plan was for all those crocus to look stunning before the roses leafed out.
So I will be ordering another batch of the same and replanting in the roses garden. I wonder what I can do to keep the squirrels away from them this time around?
