Eternal Optimist

About a month ago, I planted some bulbs--freesia and something else, but does it really matter? I've been faithfully watering them ("water frequently in spring" the directions said), but I've got NOTHING, NIL, NADA, ZERO. Not even one sprout. Okay, we may have had one very light & quick to melt snow storm since then, but the ground didn't freeze!

When I was pulling up some weeds, I did find a half-chewed bulb, so it's possible that they have all been eaten by chipmunks (although I saw no evidence of things being dug up). However, it's also possible that the quality of bulbs you buy from the PTO is questionable.

I will continue watering with hope and optimism.
