Annette, you are too kind. Thanks!

SS - yes, that's an oak tree, one of seven in my yard. The tree roots don't seem to be a problem in the bed - I have it tilled each fall before I plant and we never run into roots.

Catz - I used to treat the tulips as annuals, but several years ago DonnaMack convinced me to save the bulbs in the spring and replant in the fall. The yellow tulips that were in this bed two years ago were in another bed last spring (below). I dug them last spring and planted them in the border to bloom this spring (hopefully).
