If You Plant It, It Will Come (Hopefully)

Despite the wacky weather in my part of the world, my tulips are actually coming up. I purchased the bulbs at a major retailer last fall and planted them all over my back yard. In retrospect, I probably should've planted them in one spot, but I reasoned that tulips only lasted for a short period of time and it was best to "share" the color in the spring.

Anyhow, in the fall (and even early this spring) the squirrels kept on digging up my tulip bulbs, thinking that it could eat the bulbs. Well, tulip bulbs are toxic to squirrels and this was confirmed by the fact that my tulip bulbs were dug up, strewn around my garden, but never eaten. So I would then replant my tulip bulbs (even the moldy looking ones) and hoped for the best. So, despite the crazy weather this spring, my tulip bulbs are actually sprouting leaves and maybe even a tulip or two. I just hope that there won't be a cold front or frost coming in anytime soon.
