Daffydowndillies

The daffodils have been gorgeous this year. Maybe it was the very wet fall and winter, or maybe it was the bone meal-blood-meal-wood-ash combination I fertilized them with last year. Whatever, they've been so pretty.

We seem to have them everywhere. Years and years ago I planted quite a few, and they have spread to places I never planted them. I don't have photos but there are daffodils in the woods and even in a briar patch at the top of our driveway. They've naturalized themselves, it seems.



These did not bloom for the past several years. I convinced Larry not to mow them over until June so the leaves could feed the bulbs well. And that fertilizer mix may have helped too. These have been here for well over 30 years.


I lke this one with its small orange "face."



Well hello, Clyde! He had to get in the pictures---most curious cat ever!





Not daffodils! The lettuce bed is doing well, the radishes not so much. The onions are curled from hitting against the glass cover, which is now officially retired for the year. We put a wire cage over the bed though, to keep the deer and the cats out.
