Weird. First house improvement: bulbs. But the fact is, bulbs must go in now.
Chipmunks will dig them out – Ed tells me.
No they wont.
Yes they will. This is going to be a fun project.
(The truth is, I think, that the crocuses are vulnerable but the daylilies and daffodils – less so.)
But there is another more significant thing to be learnt here: I am in a daring mode again. I’m making assumptions, I’m betting, I’m forging ahead.
Time to take chances.
But not too fast. Let’s just start with the bulbs and see what happens.

The skunks uproot my daffodil bulbs all the time, but don't eat them. The gophers tunnel right around them, as they make their way to the more delectable freesias and Dutch irises. I have no experience with chipmunks to offer.
ReplyDeleteI love your picture of Lakeshore Path today. It reminds me of Freshman and Sophomore years (and a random fight with Brian).
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the chances you're taking, and your bulbs. I've always heard to put the daffodils on the perimeter which apparently discourages animals from eating the more tasty plants.
