Please can someone advise me how can I stop the squirrels from digging up my bulbs and eating them?  I've tried grating soap over the areas where the bulbs where planted, however the squirrels kept away for a few days but now they've had a feast by Trainee Tea Lady

Spring bulbs
Has anyone else found that their Daffs, and other bulbs are beginning to emerge too early. Will their growth slow down? Yes and yes. If we get a cold spell they'll stop or slow down and wait for spring to start again. It's worth going out by Rose lady
