Sandnsea, for some reason, there haven't been many squirrels here this year. Normally they are driving me nuts (no pun intended) digging up bulbs and making a mess chewing and planting my Black Walnuts everywhere. But this year there really have been very few. I just recently bought some triple super phosphate to treat my Hydrangea and when I start on the tulips and daffs, if they come digging, I'll be sure to apply some of the phosphate. Thanks for the tip.

Being that this is a lily thread, guess I'll post a lily photo. This may possibly be the last lily blooming in Pennsylvania. It's blooms are actually outlasting the mums behind it. It is Rio Negro. I forgot that it was a short lilly when I planted them towards the back of the bed. I'll have to move them next year. But what a lily it is, the blossums are almost 10" across. I've never seen such hugh blooms on so short a lily. It is just under 24" tall.
