While out with Mrs. Fisher's third graders we found 8 emerging tulips. The average height was 2.5 centimeters. We planted in our raised beds this year and are comparing to a microclimate in our enclosed courtyard. The average height of the tulips in the microclimate is 8.7 centimeters. We think this is because the bricks in the courtyard keep the sun's heat and make the soil warmer. Hooray for spring!
