Tulip Disaster
Too much water
A little overenthusiastic watering has led to heartache in the tulip bowl garden.
Oh no
One of the five bulbs has rotted, and has had to be excised. Agathe is feeling upset and guilty.
A decent burial
The girls have given it a decent burial in the outside garden, and hope for better results with the other four.

Quimper Hittys 
Ohhhhhh… We sympathize. This often happens at our house.
Poor things – perhaps they require tea to lift their spirits (so long as they don’t share with the tulips!)
Tea is the very thing to restore a dejected spirit – I’ll go put the kettle on!
Sigh, over enthusiastic watering happens here, too…. hopefully the remaining tulips will bloom and the Hittys will be glad of heart again….
Hopefully! If all else fails we can go to the flower shop!
Oh, poor Agathe! I’m sorry she is feeling guilty, but it is certainly not her fault. All plants can be wily. Better luck with the other four. Also… does that pot have drainage? Perhaps they need to be relocated to one that does.
No drainage, so we have been trying to merely dampen the soil. Maybe we need a soil dampness meter!
tragic photos….especially the one of the girls giving the deceased bulb a proper burial. We also struggle with the whole over/under water thing. Tell the girls that the Country Hittys feel their pain.
The Hittys are disappointed but doing their best. Thanks for the sympathy…. 😦
Hope the other four bulbs are okay……That would cheer up the girls !!!
We enthusiastically hope so – though the enthusiasm is now somewhat restrained in the watering department!!!
