Planting Bulbs in Containers for Spring (when you can't plant them in the ground!)

Today I am sharing planting bulbs in containers for Spring. I have a bad vole and gopher problem that is continuing so I can't plant them in the ground. The voles and gophers have eaten all my bulbs including my 1000's of tulips I had lining my entire garden along with the Asiatic, Trumpet and Oriental lilies, my alliums and hyacinths!

How can I have beautiful Spring bulbs and keep them safe from these voracious creatures??? I plant them in containers and raised beds.

I showed a container planting video last Fall and was accused of it being click bait since I did not show how well they did. So, I started this video with a brief clip of Spring bulbs of many kinds in containers blooming beautifully.

Then I proceed to share how I do it. And what I am using to keep the squirrels and raccoons from digging them up. (so far it is working great!)

So this coming Spring I get to have my Spring flowers from bulbs despite the critters!
Here are some I planted last year: https://youtu.be/HJyFF63unPI

I garden in Zone 8a in the mountains of N. California. Though that sounds warm it is a challenging climate for gardening here. I am surrounded by 200 foot tall conifers which block a lot of sun and we get heavy wet snows along with late Spring freezes, which can cause a lot of damage. On the west coast USDA zones are not exactly accurate. The topography of the landscape makes for varying micro-climates. Our last freeze is typically the final week in May.
