Cait's Garden

I was late to the party with crocuses. I planted my first several dozen just two years ago and am so very glad I did. (Even though I had to keep bricks on top of the bulbs the first winter to discourage squirrels from digging them up.) I put them in a low-maintenance section of  my garden, consisting of mostly shrubs, so that they can multiply freely without accidental interference from me. For the past week, I’ve been enjoying the show, with more performances to come. Some may wonder if it’s worth the trouble, planting bulbs for flowers with such a brief life span. All I’ll say to that is, FLOWERS, in MARCH. What gardener wouldn’t want to see that? For your viewing pleasure, I will also include a long shot of one section of my garden with crocuses, so I can show off my beloved gardening cat statue, who clearly is enjoying the flowers.
