Yep, voles. Nancy, time to get another cat.  I always had indoor/outdoor cats 
until about 7 yrs ago, then just indoor ones. That year all sorts of vermin 
invaded once the word spread. I then trained the oldest and then the other 
two to be I/O cats and then the two newer cats, now 2.5 yrs old are I/O. Even 
if they never catch a thing, their presence keeps the bunnies, voles, 
chipmunks in check.

Cheryl, it can be devastating to lose precious plants; would you be able to 
get a dog or cat to help out?

My variegated weeping holly, one of two on either side of path, was dropping 
leaves.  Watched it for several weeks and finally stuck finger down in roots. 
 Those voles were having a winter long party down there.  Put sevin in holes 
and sealed holes with good soil.  Saved that small tree since new leaves are 
coming out.  Miss that cat every day.  Nancy

I bought plants, Fritilaria last year and they come with Garlic to deter 
anything eating the roots maybe try that. It may have been done at the 
seedling stage at the nursery. I Just replanted  and they  still have a 
garlic smell.
