Mine are just coming up through some thick winter foliage so I didn't notice them. Just yesterday I noticed snails are eating them. Until I can get snail stuff I covered the whole area with sand. Snails can't slither across it to get to the plants.
Coffee grounds around the base for a good few inches help. Last year, I found 1inch white slug/worms inside the curled up leaves. A gardener friend recommended that I use a shallow plastic container ( dips/margarine/cut bottle etc). Dig hole big enough so container lies level with earth. Pour in some beer - watch the greedy suckers drown. Change regularly! It worked. Will definitely try both again this year. Good luck everyone.
