Blog Overview
I started blogging again in July 2023 after some job changes and my children growing up which gave me a lot more discretionary time. I do this for me, but I hope some others find my posts interesting or useful in some way.Tulips 2023

For my 2023 Tulips I planted Red Impression and Pastel Mix Tulips on November 30, 2022. That was the first year I planted Tulips and I was very happy with the results. I will show the whole season on this post.....

Planting Day - November 30, 2022
This is my first year growing tulips. I am excited to see how they will turn out. They are going in the planter right by our front door, where we look out a large window, and right by where everyone walks up to our front door. I decided to try 15 red ones, and 15 mixed. We will see how that works out.
Nice Looking Bulbs
Here they are out of the packaging, ready to go in the ground.

9 Weeks - Tulips are Starting to Show
13 Weeks - Just Starting to Bloom
March 5, 2023 - The first tulip flowers are starting to emerge. It looks like they will all be in bloom soon!
Week 15 - Full Bloom
March 17, 2023 - We are in Full Blooom with a few tulips that are already done, and just a few starting to bloom. This is a qucik bloom lasting a total of about 3 weeks.
Mixed Colors were a Bust
Although there were a few blooms, the assorted color bag did not show anywhere near the quality of the red tulips. I think next year I will go full red tulips.
