One day I noticed we had bright green spikes coming out of the ground on the left side of our front door. I was 80% positive they were tulips, and I got really excited because I had really wanted to plant bulbs last year and waited too long! Thank you so much, whoever you are that last lived here and planted these! OH and it gets better. So on the right side of our door was just tall dead u-g-l-y sunflowers. Once the snow melted I could see there were plenty of other dead weeds there too. I decided since it was finally dry that I could pull some of the ugliness off. Not only was everything super easy to pull away, but it revealed a magnificent surprise! Underneath all that crud was dark black soil with MORE tulips! YEEAAHHHH!!!! I am SO excited to have pretty flowers in my yard! I'm a nerd so you KNOW you'll see some more pictures of them in the future.
Here you can see the pile I pulled off the dirt thrown to the side. Just pretend what the "before" picture looked like. Hurry up Spring I'm ready for you!!!

I love tulips! And, you have no snow. For some reason I figured you'd still have quite a bit up there.
Yay! I don't think we'll be seeing tulips for quite some time. Heck, I'd even take weeds right now. That's how desperate I am to see some sun!
One of the houses we rented in Tremonton had tons of tulips in the front yard. They were beautiful for about 2 weeks. Then the weeds overtook everything. It was such a big yard that I couldn't keep up with it, so I gave up. I got my blog background from pyzam.com. They have tons of free background templates to choose from.
you need to do what? haha more information please! how are those tulips coming along?
My mom does tulips every year and they are the aboslute bets and prettiest. I wish they lastest longer.
