Well, I know one may often have to beat slugs back from these with a club.

I have about four pairs of varied thrush digging holes right now looking for whatever it is they look for to eat. I do have squirrels and they are showing no interest in my erythronium.

Thanks Bboy. Just sprinkled Sluggo around them. :)
Hopefully my dog will stay away from the Sluggo.

Something is digging up the erythronium. Dang it.
The only thing left is the shoots that had formed.
Breaks my heart as I broke my back putting them in.
