Where are you gardening, Brownthumb ? We have a similar problem, but the type of deer is different

My Daughter loves Dears their little faces & Big eyes are the Sweetest :)

looks so peaceful :)

Sounds like maybe you can easily walk to the river from your home.

Remember that there are deer resistant plants out there and you can always fence in an area.

This is wonderful. Solitude indeed. Where are you from Brownthub ?

Tulips do grow tiny bulbs on their sides but I do believe that the hassle of digging them up, potting them and nurturing them with no guarantee of success is too much work when you can buy new ones in the autumn at reasonable cost. It's not just a question of dividing them, unfortunately. Are they particularly special ones? There are so many lvely species and colours now - have a change!!! :-)

Spritz could well be right about the short lived nature of tulips I change mine around each year so don't notice if any go astray! lol Hel.xxx.

If they have been in for some years, they may have deteriorated to the point where you need to buy new ones. When you buy tulips (and some other bulbs) they have been 'treated' commercially and are often thrown away at the end of the season, or popped into a corner for colour for maybe another year or two. Do you feed them? This should help, other thought is - are they really deeply down in the soil?

You don't mention if these were newly planted last autumn?

If your bulbs have been planted a long time they will need dividing maybe this is your problem? Hel.xxx.
