Tulip bulb shoots and lily beetles

With GOTY over, life is back to normal - for the moment. The first gardening session of the new year always feels good, even if it's just an hour. It has been incredibly mild so far this winter - we have had no proper frosts at all yet. Weeds and the lawn have continued to grow slowly and today I uncovered an active lily beetle and tulip bulbs with shoots above ground level. I have no doubt that a good spell of cold weather will happen eventually, but it is late.
