Silly Tulips!
I planted about 60 tulips last fall (frivolous, I know, in an area with clay soil) but I had 6 left over. I set them on the shelf in the garage, thinking I would get to them eventually.
Time waits for no gardener. Today I noticed that they were sending up shoots.
I stuck them in a pot, plopped in some soil and set them on the windowsill. I don't usually like to force tulips because we don't have optimal lighting for that, but I guess circumstances forced me.
Cold front coming in now. Not anything compared to what the northerners are enduring.
On p. 72/425 of the 'setting check' for DD. Halfway through the re-write of Iron Shoes.

A bit jealous of you spring garden cleaning.

One of my friends in Aus was griping about how hot it was the otehr day. Summer there ;o)

I also had a few leftover tulips last winter that were sprouting and stuck them deep in pots. I put them outdoors and they came up much closer to spring.
Of course, I'm pretty much pleased when any of my flowers flower. Our house is on old farm land and it's pretty much grass...and weeds... Since we've moved in, we keep getting April snows that zap the trees and flowers in spring...
