I was delighted to see one of my Black Pussy Willows begin popping their little black catkins yesterday.
It is my second year for these bushes and the first year of catkins. I took a picture which I will share with you. I went out to see them this morning and something has cut numerous little new branches off and just left them lay as well as eaten some of them. I recovered the ones I could and put them in water, hoping to root them, but I feel that is not going to work. They are only a few inches long and just new sprouts.
To say I want to kill the critter is an understatement. I love critters, but when they do this to me I get so angry I just want to destroy them all. Grrrrrrrrr!
