Hello, I've recently become a home owner and finally have yards and gardens to play with but for the most part have no idea what I'm doing. My question today is about Lilly bulbs. I planted some in the beginning of October. I put them approximately 5-6" down. I added compost to the soil and then covered with mulch. When should I expect to start seeing the sprouts? The mulch hasn't proven to be great at preventing weeds and other things from growing and being a rookie I'm worried I might accidentally pull one of my lilly sprouts thinking it's a weed.

Thanks in advance.
