Back to This Week's Update Garden Highlights Week ending April 14, 2011 04/13/11 West Fairlee, Vermont Some of our tulips have just emerged in our garden. The ones that haven't emerged yet are still under 6 inches of snow. It has been a very snowy winter. 04/08/11 Cooper, Maine Finally snow and ice melted off my tulip bed and I could see they were emerging! Happy to see a sign of spring! 04/05/11 Eureka, Montana It has been a long winter so we didn't think they would come up for a long time, but we were pleasantly surprised to see some sprouts!! 04/11/11 Boston, Massachusetts The tulips that are in the sunnier location have bloomed, but the ones that are in a shadier location have not bloomed yet. Some of the tulips have two blooms! The tulips that haven't bloomed yet look really close to blooming. 04/11/11 Belmont, West Virginia At Belmont Elementary School, we are pleased to announce that the beautiful sunshine and warm weather on Sunday (temperatures at a record high of 87 degrees F) lead to beautiful blooms on Monday 4/11/11. 04/09/11 St. Louis, Missouri Ours seem to be blooming late, but we also planted late in January (within your guidelines, but later than most) We have about 5 in full bloom and all but 1 came up. 04/07/11 Holliston, Massachusetts One single tulip out of over two hundred planted by our second graders has not only emerged, but also bloomed!.
