First tulip peeking through

First tulip peeking through

Pulled the straw cover off our raised beds this week. It was exciting to see the first tulip stems peeking through.

Tulips in raised beds

Last fall we packed all four raised beds full of tulip bulbs. Within a couple weeks there should be hundreds of tulips proclaiming Spring’s arrival!

Of course, we live in Minnesota where it can snow whenever it wants. Like today.
