There are bulbs under all that snow! The snow is actually melting, though it’s not gone. I see the southern side of my garage would be a good place to grow something if I weren’t worried about potential lead paint. Maybe sunflowers. You’ll also notice my complete indifference to raking leaves off the mulch last fall.
I don’t know what plants these are…tulips? I know there are no crocuses in the bed, only in the yard itself. Time will tell. It will also tell whether my San Marzano seeds are duds. Everything else has sprouted, even the Principe Borghese which I had doubts about, plus the tomatillo. I’ll be planting seeds tomorrow or Tuesday; today turned out not to be a good day.

that’s funny – I just noticed today I had the same things coming up and couldn’t figure out what they were….I’m pretty sure they are tulips though (now that I think about it and you mentioned it)

Hope Monday or Tuesday is a better day and you get a lot of seeds in the ground!

pretty sure that is a hyacinth… We have a couple poking thru the mulch in Syracuse too.

Thanks, Aiyana. Glenn and Steve, well, I guess we’ll see if/when it blooms. Whatever it is, here’s hoping ours all stick around.

It’s hard to tell from the angle I would guess either tulips or hyacinths.
