Our tulips put on a lovely show for weeks. Thanks to all of you for encouraging me to give them a second chance. Years ago I planted a big batch of tulips from Costco and not a single one came up. My friend, Bob, thinks the squirrels made off with them instead.
One of the cool things about keeping a gardening blog is the log. With over a year of blogging, I can refer back to planting schedules, what worked, what didn’t and all the wonderful comments you post. It takes a village to plant an awesome garden. I love that. ♥
Here’s what I’ll be referring to this fall when I buy and chill garden bulbs:
Angéliqué
Planted: 15
Survived: 4
Thrived: 2
I might try again, but in a different location. They’re stunning, but just didn’t take off.
Attila
Planted 15
Survived: 12
Thrived: 12
These will definitely be back next year.
Passionale
Planted 5
Survived: 5
Thrived: 5
Also a winner, the Passionale tulips were the first up and the longest-lasting.
I thought I would feel wistful as the tulips faded, but signs of spring are in abundance everywhere. Farewell, garden beauties. Till next year.
Are you seeing signs of spring, too?
