My momma has taught me everything i know...
It's my favorite time of the year! Spring !!! and today is officially the first day of it !! along with FREE RITA'S, a cool breeze, and volleyball & BBQ on the JR courts comes pretty flowers...and tulips!
I remember one day when i was a little girl i came home from school and all the tulips in the front yard had been tied like rope with all the flowers cut off....i asked my mom what had happened to them!
My momma taught me...along with many many other things that once tulips die (which are a perennial...meaning that grow back every year) it greatly benefits the ground and the next years seed to tie the stems of the dying tulips back (shown above) to send the lasting nutrients back into the ground ....seems pretty logical if you ask me!
The above tulip is one the girls and i had in our window sill for the past month or so. although it looks dead, i plan on bringing it over to 207 woodroof and re planting it around the mailbox in hopes that it will blossom next march at our new home !!!
Another thing to get really really excited about !!!!
flowers at 207 woodroof !!! :) I can not wait
