The 6th grade at Classical Academy is excited about planting our first Journey North tulip garden. It took us a long time to plant our 120 bulbs because our soil is clay and very compacted (we had to mix in a lot of peat moss). Over the three days of November 27, 28, and December 3 we planted 50 controls and 70 experimental bulbs (some upside down, some sideways, some shallower and some closer together). On Wednesday, December 5, we plan to dissect some of our bulbs and maybe start a few indoors as well. We have squirrels, deer, groundhogs and wild turkeys among our neighbors, so our garden is covered with chicken wire. We're really looking forward to seeing the results of all our hard work in the spring!
