Squirrels are jealous

All the bulbs started popping up and I had to cover them with chicken wire because the squirrels really wanted them too.

Saffron

I was away when the crocus bulbs bloomed, so was only able to get 5 bits of saffron. I am excited for next years bloom/harvest.

nothing came up. :-(

I ordered two sets of bulbs, planted them immediately exactly as directed, and not a single one came up. I don't know if they will overwinter and come up next year - I'll need to move them, and will try to be careful in case they are still alive. But so far this has been $ down the drain.
