I had been seeing little friends poke their little green heads up in the tulip border and so it was the perfect day...get out there to pull weeds so the bed was beautifully clean and ready for blooming!
Oh it felt sooooo good to be outside like that - so warm and being back in the dirt. Ahhhhhhhh.
Not only are the bulbs shooting little green tips up, but one of the crocuses is blooming!! There, amidst the weeds, actually blooming!!
The bed with all its winter weeds...
And as I pulled weeds around the still-green plants that I was sure would die back so that I only have spring bulbs coming up in the bed in the spring, I found little bulbs trying to poke their way up under them. Oh lovely.
When I want something to stay green and hardy and fill a bed, it dies.
When I want something to die back to a stub all winter so that I can have a clean bed for spring, it stays and greens and fills and overtakes and confuses.
I can't win!
But look at them all popping!
Well, it is now cleared and clean and beautiful and ready for a glory of crocuses and tulips and whatever else I planted and forgot about!!
