Summer must be on the way
Our Tulips are about 3 weeks earlier than they were last year.
It's always a good sign that summer is on its way when the Tulips come out.
These are in our Raspberry patch.
I cut down all the raspberry bushes a few weeks ago and the new growth is coming along quite nicely
Tulips, do you like Tulips?

I love tulips but I think my favorite flowers are daisies.

@Ineeddentures I agree. The deer also eat my raspberries. Many times the birds do, too. I give up!

The birds here seem to leave them alone, and the Brambles too,
I have no idea why

I think when they fully open, that Tulips are at their best Dianne.
We did have a problem with Deer , they used to eat my Raspberries in our old garden in at our old house

My favourite flower is Blue Corn Flower.
Yvonne likes her Tulips
I should have pointed out that Yvonne planted them on there years ago, and only 3 or 4.
Oh how they are spreading

@ineeddentures My little patch is resplendent with tulips currently, though in the photo daffodils predominate.

That's lovely.
For some reason, the small patch of daffodils have not appeared this year..

@Ineeddentures You can do that if you want to grow potatoes. Well, it's not quite the same. You plant spuds in the bottom of a pot and once the foliage is maybe 6-8" high, you cover them with soil and do the same several times. Hopefully, they'll set potatoes at each stage.

@Ineeddentures I melt, or it feels like it. It's why I like winter so much. It gets very humid here.

Oh dear.
Well summer in Scotland would suit you down to the ground.
It's great really because it doesn't get very hot
