The tulip bed in our front yard is already growing. I haven’t even had a chance to get out there and pull the weeds and clean-up the branches and other debris in there.
This isn’t supposed to happen in early February! The tulips usually look like this at the end of February or in early March.
Guess this is what happens when you’ve had as mild a winter as we’ve had. I’m certainly not gonna complain about that — love this weather! But, it’s only February 11th. If we have a couple nights of frost before spring, those flowers are toast. Goners.
On the bright side, I’m looking at 10- and 15-day forecasts for West Richland, and there’s no sign of winter anywhere to be found. Whew….
