My First Tulips!

My very first tulips ever have bloomed!  They're purple, of course.  I've always wanted to plant my own tulips in my own yard and now I've done it.

I also decided to mulch under my kitchen window.  I have to say I'm glad I did it.  It makes the plants stand out more and makes everything look neater.  Eventually I want to make this area larger and pile it up more.  Maybe make a planter there.  But for now, this will do.
