I planted a load of crocus under some apple trees one year. The next morning, nearly every one had been dug up and I assume eaten by badgers. It was a devil of a job mowing for a bit after that.

Which is very annoying, I was going to give her some bulbs for Christmas.

Beautiful! Worth all the hard work.
The voles, badgers and boar eat ours, and the heat does for the potted ones, especially when I forget to water

What masses of colour Scarlet, really lifts the heart, are they part of your cut flower enterprise or just for your own enjoyment?
