Squirrel warning for young tubers
"I ordered about 10 bearded iris tubers. They arrived at planting time and were nice and healthy. I planted half on one side of my yard and half on the other. In two days squirrels devoured all of the tubers on one side of the yard (caught them red handed). I covered the remaining tubers with cayenne pepper and as we approach winter the tubers are thriving. Neighbors have mature iris' and the squirrels don't bother them. Just a heads up to others who have a hardy squirrel population!"
