Hi all, I am hearing that the voles ate your lillies. But my voles ate only my hosta, every hosta, and I had lost and losts of them. They started on one side of my yard and hit the other by this spring. All my beds have to be replanted. They did not eat my day lillies either.
What I am doing this year is planting some roses. I plan on putting them in a 12 inch across and 12 down wire cage. What hosta bulb that is left and trying to live I dug up and want to put them in a cage also.
I like the idea of planting the lillies along with the rose's.
Thsi pic shows my redone bed and the baskets where I want to put the roses. I am getting 3 carpet roses and 6 knockout. Should I put some rocks on top and bottom of the cage also to keep out the voles?
