So apparently a squirrel dug up one of my tulip bulbs, but for some reason left it in the garden. The bulb was under some leaves, so maybe the squirrel lost it. Anyway, it took root sitting on the surface and is now starting to bloom. Pretty cool!

Seed starting
Okay, I couldn't resist. I was at Home Depot and they had seed starting systems on sale. It has 72 little sections and a built-in watering system. I got a bunch of seeds - spinach, parsley, squash, plus some flowers too. They say you're supposed to start the seeds 6-8 weeks before you'll be transplanting them into the ground. In my area, that will be late April or so, which means I should start the seeds in the beginning of March. That gives me a month to clean out the storage room, set up a table, buy a grow light, and figure out which seeds to start. The problem with starting the veggies too early is that I don't have a veggie garden built yet. That's another project on the list for when the weather gets better. So much to do!
