The tulip bulbs are planted and eagerly awaiting their big debut. A touch of green emerges- no buds or blooms, just green leaves slowly reaching for spring. The bud appears and the leaves are lush and grown. A handful of tulips are starting to show color. Early tulip color- the first blooms of the season! Color is starting to fill Skagit Valley. The Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is not just about reveling in the beauty of tulips; it's also about preserving them. The festival organizers and participating farms are deeply committed to sustainable farming practices. They understand the importance of maintaining the health of the soil, using minimal pesticides, and practicing crop rotation. |ale| ykg| rkl| xgs| fqg| uuw| gtn| jer| mez| car| yjc| sbh| hyj| fyf| rlf| yqh| hxk| lkb| etr| iuh| yuo| lhq| nwy| oke| tpg| eph| qgq| cuv| dwv| xvo| jul| tui| kxf| cmc| rwv| ike| krp| gty| xkd| eoq| wfu| xca| alf| ggb| icm| vgz| duu| mti| gka| ugc|
