Tulip Test Garden

This year we are going to plant a Tulip Test Garden, which is a Journey North project that tracks spring's arrival across the Northern Hemisphere.  It looks like just the kind of project we will enjoy.  We have ordered our tulip bulbs (Red Emperor) and I actually thought we might plant them today, but after reading a bit I decided it might be a bit early to do so.  We are going to hold off planting for a week or two.  There are some wonderful activities on the site though, so we are going to try some of those instead of planting.
