I haven't heard of skunks or squirrels going after lily sprouts. As for the rabbits, they can be nasty little buggers. A repellent or fencing/screening around the sprouts. Also, if you have a dog or cat, they can often help to dissuade the little furballs from eating your treasures. Good luck.

I know this might sound a bit prehistoric, and if you're not in a rural area it may not be possible. However, I live in extreem rural Nova Scotia and have to defend my perennials and veggies from all sorts of nasty critters. There are two methods that leave my garden untouched. I make my husband urinate all around the gardens. One whiff of human urine and the animals run the other way. The other method is hair. Give yourself, your children, your spouce or your dog a trim or go to a local hair shop and scatter hair around your garden. The neatest thing about this method is that the birds take your hair and use it to build nests! My son loves the fact that the songbird nests in our area have his hair built in! Hope this helps!

LOL hopgood.. I cant dream of urinating in my garden... But will surely consider getting the hairs around the plants.. Thanks guys for the tips..
