Ginny, Bunnies and maybe groundhogs have chewed through the plastic netting around the vegetable garden but maybe squirrels would have to be really desperate to bother. It’s worth a try! We’re crossing our fingers that there are enough acorns to go around this year and that they won’t go for the bulbs. -kris

I have checked the compost heap. Have you seen it? It is not easy planting bulbs especially with ledge around. Send those volunteers over. :) <em>Layanee, I hope you found your dibble! Maybe you should try a drill instead... Hope all's well after Sandy! -kris</em> I have started planting the bulbs but now I cannot find my dibble. I have checked the compost heap. Have you seen it?

This will more than double the increase of the impact of the front entrance, I believe. <em>Patrick, I bet it will be a stunning display! -kris</em> I had the bus driver here at Trinity increase ours from 100 to 200.
