@Kabby, Neal, Jo Ann Thank you.
I have/had two riding mowers. The reason I said had was because the small one if you seen my post was taken out by a tree.
The thread "I am lucky and blessed" in
All Things Gardening forum
It was easy to get around the property because I ride around I have more trouble replanting and putting up different deterrents gadgets and sprays to keep the critters out. I would find one thing that kept the deer out but the rabbits did not care. I would find things that kept the rabbits and Deer out and then the groundhogs came. It was a never ending battle.
I think I have a system that works for all now but it took a lot of work and trial and error to figure out all the stop gaps to have working garden areas.
Because of the crazy animal problems I will not invest in expensive bulbs. I will not buy them unless they are dirt cheap so if the animals get them I have not wasted a lot of money. Tulips are tasty to every animal so they are planted in pots on the patio. My patio is as big as most suburban back yards so it is a good place for Tulips, and tender bulbs. The only thing that comes up to the patio are the Turkeys. They say nothing eat Daffodils, I have had something that eats even Daffodils. Nothing is safe.
