That is hilarious! Even more so because you are an ΑΓΔ. We have a lot of swuirrels, but they don't seem to dig things up much here. It doesn't freeze often here so there's more food above ground, I assume. I remember my first winter in Wisconsin- one of my culture shock moments was wondering "but what do the squirrels do during the winter here??" Ha.

Hmm so would you revommend putting the early flowers in the back, and late ones in the front? Or is it more of a height issue?
