Bad Squirrels: Last week we brought some spring bulbs - 25 tulips, 50 crocuses and 50 grape hyacinths. Last Wednesday I looked on the packets and they said 'plant before the first frost'. As it was starting to sleet outside and snow was forecast, I donned Jamie's jacket and raced out to dig 125 holes and plant the bulbs under the trees. Over an hour later and looking severely bedraggled and feeling hypothermically cold, I returned inside: mission accomplished! Imagine my horror today to see a black and a grey squirrel (are they not meant to be in hibernation right now??) out digging holes right where I had planted the bulbs. Mr Grey Squirrel slowly ambled up the tree and sat watching me long enough for me to go inside and get the camera and snap a photo of him. That is most definitely a tulip bulb in his paws and not an onion. Maybe I need to pay more attention to the packet and dig 6 inches deep and not be content with 4-5 inch deep holes....
