Well, waiting for a spell of cold weather before planting the tulips didn't work. Up till today, there's been one frost, and we've had a month of wet and stormy but not cold weather. So, since the weather was having a rest today, I planted 30 greigii tulips: Toronto, Quebec and Girlfriend in front of the shed.

I also planted 10 each of Elegant Lady, Ballerina, Aladdin and Jacqueline in a wide row behind them. Roll on spring!
