Yep, Carol has done what I do.

Squirrels don't eat them, but they move them around. I had three Prince Promise last year and they seemed to disappear, and then I found one about 5 feet from the spot where I planted them. I think the squirrels dug them up, and did a very poor job burying the other two so they dried out and died!

I put in some sprouted ones this year and did the pepper thing and they were fine.

I have two sets of lilies I was given as gifts that I love but which clash with my color scheme. I put them in the back of my garage in pots. Last winter I forgot to water them at all (!!!) , my normal practice being to give them a little water at the beginning of each month during the winter. But they came through wonderfully in their pots, producing more flowers than last year.

This Royal Sunset lily spent the winter in a pot with no water. I also had an orange tiger lily I abused similarly that did very well.
