Carey was on the muscle end of the tulip fork, lifting out spent bulbs and I was right behind her, separating the bulbs from the soil and hauling them out. It is killer work--we are so grateful for Carey. I would much rather put tulips in than take them out!
So...yeah, we have tulips!

Beautiful! What do you do with the tulip bulbs after they are spent? Do you keep them or toss?
ReplyDeleteA dear friend was horrified when she learned that we compost them and made it her duty to find homes for every bulb. So for the past ten years she has collected them and sent them over the entire SE Idaho area. We see our tulips everywhere! Many were planted along the roadside and in parks by the ladies at the women's prison. She has sent them with family in Colorado, Wyoming and California. She also hands out hundreds at the annual Environmental Fair.
