Thousands of daffodils have been planted and I guess it looks amazing when blooming. I have not seen it. Someday. I didn't know that ducks would eat those kind of plants. I hope they don't eat any more.Candice Suter.....Sweetstuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439964856042558664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466749561761906021.post-17866457832491652212011-05-04T13:30:46.512-05:002011-05-04T13:30:46.512-05:00I'm the opposite of you: I know about growing ...I'm the opposite of you: I know about growing rhubarb, but not eating it. Love it for it's big funky leaves, not many plants in zone 3/4 to give that tropical or dinosaur look. The moose hate it, too, so that's a plus.<br /><br />I am so jealous of your bulbs.

I just saw a mourning dove yesterday in my garden. I did not know about that "milk" factoid. <br />May the sun bless you with it's warmth soon!<br />All your flowers are beautiful! <br />I just scarfed down a batch of rhubarb crisp last weekend. Of course, someone else grew that rhubarb.

It is so far behind ours! But, that's part of why blogging is fun because we can get a really good feel of what it's like for others in various locations around the country/world. Your crocuses are gorgeous! I love the white. I 'used' to have some purple but this year none came up so guess I should add some this fall. Glory of the Snow looks beautiful too...I definitely need to add that one. Your lilies look like some of my tulips this spring! It was either deer or squirrels who did the munching here. They eat them right down to the ground and don't even leave a tip! Such free-loaders! Hope the weather is spring-like for you from here on out, Donna. For us, spring will soon be leaving and it will be too hot too soon!Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466749561761906021.post-76648005276957725332011-05-02T07:25:55.662-05:002011-05-02T07:25:55.662-05:00Donna, it's so good to see that spring has fin...Donna, it's so good to see that spring has finally arrived for you! I can't keep track of the names of my daffodils either, but I really like your 'Mount Hood'/'Ice Follies.' I planted some ruffled ones that look prettier in the catalog than they do in real life; I think I should stick to the bi-color like these for something different.<br /><br />I'm so sorry about your Asiatic lilies; I wonder if they might come back. I'm lucky that between Sophie and the cats, I usually don't have much problem with critters in my garden--but they can do their own damage, of course:) As for the rhubarb, I used to have some at our old house--once it's established, there's not much you have to do other than pick it!<br /><br />Sweet Mourning Dove... I hope the rain stops long enough for you to enjoy your garden!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466749561761906021.post-50144260506050024252011-05-01T22:34:38.023-05:002011-05-01T22:34:38.023-05:00You must be happy to see these spring beauties!
