Well, ‘tis the season to go hunting around in the leaf mulch, uncovering the poor tulip shoots all valiantly trying to force their way up to somewhere there’s light!  Sometimes one or two other green things gets discovered too, but mostly it’s tulips, erecting dead-leaf tents as their way of shouting, “I’m here! I’m here!”

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years is a reminder that this time of year can be variable about just when the pretty new shoots arrive.

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years gives both concurrence with tulip-shoot time and a reminder that the near future probably holds both other new flowers soon (crocuses!?), as well as almost certainly some more snow.

…This week my garden is busy growing, but mostly still backstage just yet.
