Daily Home Renovation Tips

Yesterday in Part 30, we took our first look at some of our front garden’s tulips were starting to sprout out from their wintery garden bed.

Today we can see them much more clearly a mere 3 days later.

Now, if you recall, we had the following picture of the West side of our front garden.

From this picture, we cannot see any of the new shoots of the dozen Stella D’Or Day Lilies which were planted along the concrete boundary between the garden and the driveway because of all the dead leaves and stems from last fall.

Now, three days later we can see many of the Day Lily shoots, having spent about 30 minutes or so in the morning cleaning up and removing the now dead leaves and stems from last year’s initial planting of the plants, both the Stella D’Or Day Lilies and the Sedum Autumn Fire perennials per the photo below:

Remember the Don Quichotte tulips on the same East part of the front garden? Much more noticeable today as showed in the picture below:

How about the Plasir tulips from the East part of the garden yesterday? Here is what they look like a mere 3 days later…..much more noticable.

While we might not be able to see too much of the tulips planted last fall as part of our garden makeover, at least we can see that they are there starting to grow, meaning that the heavy winter snow and the squirrels in the fall did not get to them.

In a week or so we will show more updated photos of the tulips awakening in the spring.
