After planting tulip bulbs the next day the bulbs had been dug up..not eaten thankfully….dug up. I had failed to turn back on our motion activated water jet that keeps the elk and rabbits away…(grrrrr)…as I inspected the bulbs before replanting, I caught the scent of the culprit: JAVELINA! Those stinkers had dug them up…so I replanted and spread leaves from a nearby tree over the area then reset the water jet. No more piggies. That said, winter is coming so we had to disconnect the water source to prevent freezing…FINGERS CROSSED they don’t return until spring when the water jet can be reconnected!
