anyone for a hosta salad?...

violas
So, over the weekend, Jbo and I spent every waking minute outside working in the yard.  Still not done.  But closer. We are done with planting the new stuff that we bought last week.  In fact, we planted half the plants on Saturday and then the other half on Sunday.

Prior to planting the second half, I went out to wander and check out our new plantings and imagine how beautiful they will be in the summer...and that's when I saw it...oh the carnage!
after the deer...

what this hosta should look like.

6 of the 12 hostas we planted were eaten!  Nearly down to the ground!!  Also several tulip blooms.  At closer examination, I spied deer tracks.

Those pesky, cute little things had a tasty salad, made up of our freshly planted hostas!  A mixed salad with colorful tulip heads!  UGH!  It had been a while since I sprayed the "fox urine" onto the plants to keep them away.  That'll teach me.

disaster...


The sweet little bunnies ate ALL my crocuses on the side of the house! I guess the fox urine washed away with the rain and snow. Note the carnage.

I have to make sure they stay away from the ones under the bushes in front because I noticed yesterday that there are two white crocuses coming up…I’ve never seen the white ones before – the bunnies usually eat them before they get this big.
