at least I think it is a squirrel or two. My raised garden bed has been pillaged and the glads and dahlia bulbs stolen. Darn it all! Now I need to replace the bulbs but I wonder how to best keep the critters away. Perhaps one of those fake owls keeping guard?

have you tried putting chicken wire down on top of your dirt? I would think that would work. We have hawks now - no more squirrels!

Pam, that's a good idea. I think I have some in the shed. Thanks!

My squirrels did that too, but they reburied the tulips all over. Sometimes, in the weirdest place, a tulip will bloom. I think it's funny. But I quit planting bulbs

Forget buns of steel, I'd rather have buns of cinnamon!
