Celebrating Gardening: 2015
hmmm to prove something odd here.......lol. The squirrels have been busy busy with the walnut tree beside my house at the neighbours and literally burying the walnuts in my gardens and to be quite honest they are bigger then some lily bulbs are.....the squirrels will also take the seed pod from the tulip tree and they are huge huge and bury them as well........
at dust out come the coons that will do the same thing...............
some animals are attracted to sweet smells and not sure if one bulb smells differently then the other but I can see them taking a larger bulb.......

I am deciding where to finish drying my bulbs here and looks like in the garage is the only place or in the house.........the squirrels and the coons will take them.....

I also noticed that a gold finch .......is on the little yellow turkcaps that have seeds and cracking them open and eating the seeds...........

so not only the varmits to worry about here but the birds too.......

...................................................


On a side note at my other house years ago 2 old ladies in their high 70's were out at a patch of lilies I had planted and digging them up with the shovel. I was home and stormed out and said what are you doing. They said you have lots here so we decided to take a few of them...............NOT told them to leave right now.............
