On another not so funny note, for at least 3 years I have been overwintering prennials by staking bags of mulch and building a fort and putting the pots inside. This has worked wonderfully. Except this year I left some of my lilies out in pots in the open, just in front of the fort and they did wonderful.....some of the smaller pots I put in the fort and covered with mulch....not a good idea! Some rodent got in there and dug a hole in each pot next to the lily bulb and ate the whole thing! Geehz! I knew lilies were tough cause I basically have some in the garden that don't seem like that have 2 inches of soil on top of them so I thought I would try just leaving pots out and then protecting some pots and see who did better....rofl. I guess when we had piles of snow some thing found a nice easy dinner.......
