Or it's the butterfly effect or something. Whatever the case, it's your fault. (Kidding of course.) I always plant my tulips in pots with "used" soil. I don't like dealing with the foliage when they're finished blooming. With a pot you can just put it aside and let it do its thing. I really like your baskets lined with burlap. Downright brilliant!
