Pepper for Tulips?














The tulips haven't bloomed in my garden yet, but they are almost ready...














Last year, whenever they bloomed, some annoying squirrel would immediately snap off the flower. I went to several gardening websites for suggestions about solving this problem... One recommended sprinkling pepper flakes around the plant.














So I did it yesterday - and will probably continue regularly - and see if it works.

(Maybe I should take out my pepper mill - and add black pepper too!)

I'll let you know if any of my tulips are "decapicated" - like they were last year!
