Here in south-central Washington state, the crocus are barely up, but I expect the apple and cherry trees to flower soon. In the meantime, my condolences regarding your deer dinner guests ravaging the Hydrangeas. Will venison be on the menu shortly?

Karl,
I can't bring myself to kill them. It's just too much meat to comprehend!
The blossoms here are still around, so I don't think the deer like them much either.
Daffodils and Day Lilies. Day lilies are only a day or two of blooms. 🙁 What's the point, almost!?
Day lilies last longer than that. I grabbed some that were growing wild at a friend's place and now they are growing wild at my place. I have transplanted a bunch of them on a slope at the edge of my property more for ground cover than anything else. They grow in so thick that nothing else penetrates them.
We used to have a whole area of daylilies growing wild. We never saw a bloom - the deer used to come out at night and eat all the buds which would have bloomed the next day. It went on so long that one day DH said "Dammit" and mowed all the lilies down. Take that, Bambi. Boy, they're a thrill to watch but a menace in the garden.
