Challenge question #3
Is it going to be too late for the Gustavus Alaska tulips to root before winter?
(Answered by the 1-5th grade science class at Gustavus School)
No! Our soil temperatures in Gustavus Alaska (located on in Southeast Alaska) are much warmer than the other 4 tulip gardens that are located near Anchorage. In fact, our soil temperatures are about 20-30 degrees warmer than the other tulip gardens in Alaska. We just had our first significant snowfall this week, but the previous three weeks after planting our bulbs, it has been raining. We think our bulbs had time to root before winter. Our winters are not as harsh as the other sites and we think that spring will arrive sooner in Gustavus than in the tulip gardens further north in Alaska. Our soil will warm up sooner and we predict that our bulbs will emerge before the other Alaskan gardens.
