It was gardening soil, IIRC, purchased.  The good black stuff.  That said,
about 5 or so inches below that is the earth that was there before the
flower bed was planted.  There used to be two big boxwoods there so not
much grew underneath them, but that doesn't mean stuff wasn't waiting under
them to come up.

A couple of years after I moved in, I had a few tulips pop up in places
where there had previously not been any.  I suspect it had something to do
with me removing a whole mess of english ivy that had taken over.
