Crocus carnage: Bird? Squirrel? Gremlins?
Spring is never a straightforward season and March is especially unpredictable. I had 77 degrees (25° C) two days ago, and a frost last night. I guess I shouldn't complain too much because it snowed in Buffalo yesterday! But complain I will, because when I came home from work last night I discovered that, just as they were about to open, some critter had nipped off nearly every bud on my 'Ruby Giant' crocus. @$%&#!
