Flower beds - my stuff is sprouting!
I have bulbs coming up already! Its way to early and they might die during a good frost but we shall see. Normally I don't fertilize and mulch until late April/early May but I normally don't see action until then. Should I go ahead and do both soon?

Re: Flower beds - my stuff is sprouting!
yeah I noticed some weeds sprouting the other day.
I think all the moisture from the snow must have made them germinate fast this year

I know, my kids are so excited and check every day to see what's growing. We have crocus, hyacinths, daffodils, and tulips all coming up. Spring is almost here!

Re: Flower beds - my stuff is sprouting!
My onions and garlic are sprouting already. I think the plants are ready for the spring as well.

Re: Flower beds - my stuff is sprouting!
at first i thought it was the hostas that i had painstakingly dug up last summer and its possible some are but that is definitely a tulip bulb. I may mulch and fertilize anyway and fill it as need be before summer.

Re: Flower beds - my stuff is sprouting!
we have zero snow (live in Lindenhurst) but our house faces west and i noticed if your house is either south facing or west facing the snow melts faster.

Re: Flower beds - my stuff is sprouting!
I first noticed my tulips coming up through the snow over a week ago. I thought it was so weird to see them against the white like that! But they're still growing, and now that the weather's warmer, I hope they'll be okay.

Donna's are too!!! I didn't check mine. Here's her's.
 
In Lancaster, the Amish plant gardens early, and for certain plants, that are vulnerable, they cover with buckets, etc. to protect them from frost. Mary
