How do I keep squirrels from digging up my newly planted bulbs?

What you can do immediately after planing bulbs is put down a wire mesh large enough for your plants to grow through in the spring. The squirrels cannot chew or dig through that!
you can make or purchase 'BULB BOXES' --- made from 1" or 1/2" 'rabbit wire; about 6" cube ... they last a long time and the bulbs will grow tops/roots right thru the wire.
plant in the plastic open weave baskets (like strawberries come in)--they can't dig through them--have used with tulips and it worked.
