Selected Reports from the Test Garden

Waiting, Watching and Recording...A sampling of reports

  • 03/06/12 Castro Valley, California
    We now have 13 bulbs emerged. Our tallest bulb is 8 centimeters and our shortest bulb is 5 centimeters.
  • 03/05/12 Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania
    With a blustery temperature of 28 degrees, a wind chill of 20 degrees, and wind gusts up to 20 mph the tulips were spotted emerging from the ground! (Even Punxsy Phil - the Groundhog - knows that it's still winter!)
  • 03/05/12 Nashville, Tennessee
    Today half of our tulip garden bloomed. The blooms were bright red like the color of candy apples. We are making recordings in our workbook. So beautiful. Spring and tulips have arrived.
  • 03/02/12 Columbia, South Carolina
    ¡Una tulipa ha florecido!
  • 03/01/12 Silver Spring, Maryland
    Our winter has been unusually warm, so our tulips came up earlier than we expected. We've had little snow, and only brief periods of cold weather. Our daffodils and crocuses have emerged and bloomed as well.
  • 03/02/12 Missoula, Montana
    We were out checking air and soil temps and were shocked to see about 1/2 of our tulips popping out of the ground!
