I must confess I have also heard other gardeners refer to squirrels in this manner. I didn't have the heart to feel antagonistic towards them but am rather thrilled to have outsmarted their own foraging instincts. Next to come - a hummingbird feeder! Hi Niriha,

I'll have to explore and see what I discover. I planted somewhat cautiously in December so next year I will branch out (puns a minute) and explore some new colours and varieties. Hi Sumangali,

She noticed my surprise - I had always thought squirrels to be rather cute - and remarked, "Well, they eat the bulbs in my garden!" Having just seen your lovely garden, I can attest to the fact that you were successful in growing tulips this year.

Very refreshing. Haven't been blogging or reading much lately, so it was a treat for me to visit today to catch up on your latest posts and photos. I don't have a garden of my own, so I enjoyed visiting your virtual one very much! In Old England we seemed to skip spring this year and went straight from winter to summer. There seems to be a trend here this year towards a type of tulip which is absolutely enormous, like an old-fashioned wine goblet. They are out now in brilliant fire colours. I suppose you would know what they are. I know nothing about gardening but love to appreciate the work of gardeners. With love Sumangali Hello Sharani

What a change indeed. Did I see that you recently started a blog for gardeners? Hi Tejvan,

Squirrels can look cute, but to the gardener they can be a bit of a pest... I remember with fondness the time when I worked as a gardener; much more fun than working with computers :) Some great photos of tulips and spring flowers.
