Many years ago I planted dozens of tulip bulbs in the front garden and around the yard. As soon as they popped out in the spring, the deer would chomp them down to ground level and eventually they stopped emerging at all. Except for two. They tried desperately to produce flowers. In one spring, they reached two or three inches, or maybe they stretched to six inches. But no flowers. Then today, I was shocked to find two stems topped with thick buds. If the deer don't discover them, there's a chance they may actually bloom!
All over town, we encountered signs of early spring. Tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, azaleas, fruit trees. We are so behind this year that there was no coverage for going potty this past weekend.
