We planted our Journey North garden for the fifth season in a row. And while we were digging, we were very careful unearthing the soil because we didn't want to disturb any toads that might have already dug into the ground for the winter. (Last year, we had quite a surprise when we dug into the soil and up rolled out a toad (unharmed!). We placed wire mesh over the newly planted tulip bed, because the squirrels are especially hungry at this time of year--because they know what's coming! Their sense of smell is many times greater than ours, and they can smell the
bulbs even though they are buried 7" beneath the soil. Who could blame them for being tempted to this tulip treat. It's probably like the smell of popcorn to us!
