03-12-2023 Early pollen

 It seems that mother Nature is running very early this year with tons of blossoms and some serious leafing out even though we should still expect some cold mornings.


Tulips: growers have come with some fantastic shapes and color variations but still one major weakness: squirrels have developed a refined appetite for those rather expansive bulbs. This year alone, they have scarfed down more than half my bulbs. I might have to try and wean them by growing none for the next couple of years. That could be very painful since I like them so much.
