DO NOT let them grow alone! in other words something WILL eat them. Squirrels, raccoons, I don't know but something (too cold for most the baddies right now) thinks they taste great! Cover them. Cold frame them, start them inside in a cool room...anything. Once they establish they will be there forever but I did learn the hard way, second round was different (I just wanted to make sure they sprouted, and oh, do they, in abundance, then something ate them, then I covered them with a pyrex pan, haha).

Mine are already planted and if something's gonna get eaten, it's gonna be in my yard! The deer already chewed the tips off of my tulip trees, and squirrels/rabbits vs. Kelly is currently at 856 - 0. I like the pyrex pan idea! Quote \| Reply \| Report
