My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

If forced tulips are sprouting, are they “ready”?

8 years ago

I potted up some tulips around 12/1 to force. They’re in our spare fridge (no fruit in there). After just over a month, some bulbs are showing signs of growth.

Does this mean they have met their chilling requirement already?
