Ross of Ottawa🎵 And the snow came back
The very next day
The snow came back
You're feeling like a goner
'Cuz the snow came back again! 🎵
LillyLyle/Count Melancholia@ottaross The hyacinths in my garden are in flower!
@LillyHerself nice! Flowers some day would be great to see. I'm really looking forward to the tulips and crocus this year.
First spring in this house I was shocked to find we had none at all. We planted lots last fall. Hope some survive the squirrels which are voracious here.

I planted tulip bulbs a couple of falls ago and afterwards, sitting in my living room feeling proud of my effort, I looked up to see a squirrel on the fence happily munching on one of them.

@jd @LillyHerself Ugh, heartbreaking. We thought our anti-squirrel warfare game was pretty good at our last place – use of bloodmeal was good at protecting tulips against the vegetarian critters – but I suspect we'll need another level of defence here.
Dianora (Diane Bruce)@ottaross @jd @LillyHerself I've been using bloodmeal a long time since we now have a clump of tulips in the middle of the front lawn I never planted. I've seen a few suspicious holes lately so maybe will have to up my game as well. :(
