Hello Netting or fleece will work. Hanging old CDs up can help, but the flickering light patterns may disturb neighbours. Shooting may help as will a small noisy terrier or two, these also help with rabbits. Nigel

Given the relatively short time scale my inclination would be to leave the slabs and permanent planting for the next owners to worry about and go for bright annuals in medium size pots.

Yes just put them in compost, water and then stand them somewhere out of the way and then wait, watering when they get dry. Hopefully they will grow. Nigel

Surrey is a bit far for me to travel today. They would probably be better in the ground but pots will do. Need to be quite big as daffodils need to be planted fairly deeply 2 to 3 times the height of the bulb. Nigel
