Requiem for the tulips....

            Squirrelled!!

These are the exact same tulips shown in my last uploaded photo, taken 11 days later they are a slightly different colour  because when they ripen and mature they turn a pure white. Which is what they had just done when Mr Rapscallion Squirrel decided to bite them all off about 5cm below the flower head!! Grrrr.

Of course we didn't see it happen, but it wasn't a kid with a stick, nor the village idiot who occasionally wanders around my wife's garden with a camera - nor was it the garden fairies who are creative rather than destructive. .....A while back they kindly planted three rows of garlic for my wife, kid you not, 3 parallel rows of tightly planted garlic, each row 5 feet long and six inches apart, perfectly spaced and perfectly straight. My wife definitely didn't plant it, she plants entire beds of garlic and it was tighter spaced than she would do.  What's more they did it again, it must have been the fairies, it wasn't the squirrels, it wasn't the crows, it wasn't Julie and it wasn't that camera tramp either.

I love the squirrels, but come on guys....grrrrr.....
