  • Squirrels and bluebells

    Would the former eat the bulbs of the latter??!

    We dug up quite a number of bluebell bulbs from a bed we are renewing and planted them down the bottom of the garden in a partly shady spot (thinking being that bluebells like woodland so part shade would be fine).

    Got home tonight and half of them seem to have been dug up and have vanished! We get squirrels in the garden, plenty of birds and the occasional hedgehog. So I'm blaming the bushy-tailed rats with good PR.
    Are y'oroight booy?

    Could be. My father in law planted a load of tulip bulbs a few years ago. It took him ages to do as he has a type of Parkinsons. He was so pleased with him self so after he had finished he went in for a cuppa. By the time he got back out a squirrel ran past him with a bulb in its mouth and one tucked underneath its arm.
    I have squirrels messing about with my plants and bulbs. Worst ones are the Jays who plant acorns in my pots. Find baby acorn trees popping up everywhere this time of year.

      How strange, I thought bulbs were toxic to most mammals - you live and learn!
