Sounds like someone attacking your lamps, knocking them to the carpet and strangling the daylights out of the three way. Is there such a thing as a serial bulb predator? Is it the 75 watt setting that drives them crazy? Bulb predator. Sounds like someone attacking your lamps, knocking them to the carpet and strangling the daylights out of the three way.

The poppies come from seeds, so we just need to get them deep enough into the soil that the little birdies don't get them. I put the bulbs in pots on the patio where the dog keeps most critters at bay. Poppppppies - sounds like a line from 'The Wizard of OZ.'

Here in the Great White Frozen Northeast my tulips have just begun to poke their heads out of the ground. Tulips are my wife's favorite vegetable (that's how the woodchucks and deer see them) and I planted 60 of them last fall. Dang squirrels immediately started to dig the bulbs up. If these don't survive the onslaught of hungry varmints that I am not allowed to shoot, I'll plant something poisonous next year. Poppppppppppies.
