It's Bulb Planting Time!
I finally got out to my garden today--something I've been trying to do for weeks--to plant my daffodil and tulip bulbs. This year I decided to plant deeper and to layer some mulch over the top so that (hopefully!) the squirrels won't get to them. As I was digging, I didn't find a single bulb leftover from a previous year. I don't know how many I've planted--not too many, but at least 20-25. But none were to be found.
Here are some photos of my and Lucy's adventure:

I didn't plant any this year, just couldn't seem to get going with it, and now that you've mentioned the squirrels-eek, they might dig and eat them here, too! Your mulch looks wonderful!
