Tulips are one of springtime’s favorite flowers. While there are thousands of individual varieties, all these different tulips can be separated into 16 main categories. Every tulip cultivar is placed into one of these 16 divisions when registered with The Royal General Bulb Growers’ Association, based in Holland. Let’s look at the 16 types of tulips, including the defining characteristics and some popular varieties that fit into each category.

Flowers are nice, and I am trying to grow some from seed, using poor garden soil, but you cannot eat them! For that, I started some tomato plants from seed about 3 weeks ago, which are slowly growing under growlight and some limited sun. Also one box has some 4th of July toms from a neighbor that I transplanted late week from an ego crate. I need to invest on making my own potting soil.

Meanwhile, I just finished breaking up the fallow ground, and raked the bottom portion, plus trying to seal leaks in some rain barrels (saves the LL money on the H20 bill). But planting is still about 3 weeks away, meaning from sowing to planting is about 6 weeks. I would like to get about 400lbs of cow manure compost, but do not think I should be spending that much of the Lord's money on the garden (we buy very little veggies). Thanks and praise be to God from what I can do.
