Last fall I planted 100 tulip bulbs in the garden bed in front of the house. It only took an afternoon, but it was still a pain. I thought that particular bed was pretty safe, I don't usually see squirrels out there. It's pretty open, and we have a lot of hawks. A smart squirrel would stay out of that area.
I found this lying out today. I guess I have dumb squirrels.
I thought for sure this little tulip bulb was a goner. It has several chew holes in it, plus a rotten spot. But, when I picked it up, I was surprised to see a little green shoot peeking out of the top and another at the bottom.
So, I brought it in the house and put it into a pot. I don't know if it will survive, but at least it's got a shot now. So long as the squirrels don't invade the house, that is.
