Tulip security

Yes this is a new area of security for me, and I am sure it is for many of you too?

I have had the pleasure of living in several different countries during the past 15 years, and each country presents new challenges. My challenge in Sweden at the start of this beautiful Spring is to protect the 73 tulips that I planted in the Winter of 2006 from being seen as a tasty breakfast by the local deer that roam the island I live on. They have already eaten 3 of the 8 that have so far popped their heads through the soil!

I am considering implementing some preventative physical security mechanisms as an appropriate strategy. Please do not hesitate to share any tips or anecdotes that could provide me some valued guidance in this most interesting and beautiful area of tulip security -before they eat all of my tulips :o)
