The tulips that were gifted to us have been glorious. They bloomed and bloomed and then went by earlier this week. Yesterday I went to Lowes and bought a small bag of garden soil. (I have spoken rather openly about the icky orange soil that is native to our area or which has been brought in to our complex before houses were built. Not good for glowing things really.)
This morning I went outside early and dug a small trench just outside the front door and mixed in some of the garden soil.
Next step was to carefully pull the spent tulips bulbs from the vase and plant them in the soil.
After covering them rather heavily with more soil, I wished them well then went back inside to prepare for our Knitting Class/Handwork Chat group.
With good fortune they will survive the spring and summer and grow through the fall then next spring give another beautiful display.
