Marilyn, are you sure it isn't squirrels? They will dig up bulbs for sure. I had to put hardware cloth or a piece of some kind of wire fencing down over my new bulbs held down with metal stakes to keep the squirrels from eating them. I've used that deer repellent with some success but it really smells bad. It works for a while but you have to re-spray after about 2-4 weeks, depending on the rain.

The rain delayed my vegetable garden something awful. But the hydrangeas, coneflowers and several others things have been beautiful this year.

The blackberry lilies have started blooming. The last four pictures I took just before we went on vacation. The blue toned lacecap hydrangea is one that I have had for 5-6 years but this was the first year it bloomed.
