I couldn't resist the local sale at Lowes and got about 100 more Geranium and 100 Yellow Early Cheer and created another quickie bed. They were roughly 16 cents a bulb. I took all they have but they also have a few other varieties which I don't think do well in Houston. I didn't touch those.

As an experiment, I did not protect this bed w/ chicken wire. Hubby and I had noticed that the first bed (which has chicken wire) has not been bothered at all. I mean, no evidence of little paws trying to dig/undig stuff. Nothing, nada, zip. So, I am going to see if they bother this 2nd bed. If they do, they I will scream a few profanities, remove mulch and put the chicken wire.

Could those pesky squirrels know before hand which bed(s) have chicken wire protection and which don't? Surely, they're not that smart, can't be....
