forced bulbs

This year, we decided to try our hand at forcing

tulip and hyacinth bulbs inside!  Jeremy bought me some fun bowls

that match our kitchen and living room area and we stuck a few

bulbs in the dirt to see what happens...

Well, a few weeks later (with the aid of grow lights that are starting our tomatoes and peppers) we have plants!!!  I don't remember what I put in what, so it'll be a surprise as to which ones are

tulips and which hyacinth.  But it's fun to have new growth in the house

when it's still brown and mushy outside. 

Give it a try!  And you really don't need grow lights, but it helped!

A couple days after we planted the bulbs...

and now!  hooray!
