| Wow! It’s been six long months since we planted our tulips, but finally on April 14th they emerged. We had another snowstorm on Easter weekend, so imagine our surprise when we visited our garden on Tuesday and saw the little red tips coming up through the snow. |

April
14, 2009 Imagine our surprise to return to school after the Easter Break and another snowstorm, to find our tulips emerged! |
 |
| Last week when we visited our garden, we measured the snow and there was still about 23 cm on top of the garden. We did have a few nice days and some rain, so our snow melted fast. We thought that it took a little longer for the snow to melt because it did not get enough sun, as the school was blocking it. |  |
|
| We had another very long and snow filled winter. We had storms, blizzards, ice pellets, freezing rain, extremely cold days and lots and lots of snow. We think the tulips are very strong to survive all of that and still grow. |  |
|
Again this year we are comparing our garden with two other Grade 2 classes at St. John’s Episcopal School in Dallas, Texas. We have certainly found a lot of differences with our weather and planting times. They planted theirs in January, we did ours in October. Their tulips emerged in February and ours emerged in April. The garden in Texas has already bloomed and we are not sure when ours will. |

We can’t believe they emerged through the snow! Now we can’t wait to see them bloom! When do you think it will be? |
