tulips, crocus, and new growth

At what i call the Urban thicket

My tulips are all about 6 inches tall now, none of them were dug up last year. The few crocus' and galanthus are flowering. Strawberries, jacobs ladder, bleeding hearts, roses, iris', dragon snaps, garlic, dianthus and a bulb which im not sure what it is until it flowers(thinking hyacinth) have all started new growth.

The Urban thicket doesn't get a lot of light as it is trapped between buildings facing north, west. The only sun it gets at this time of year is for about 1.5 hours midday and only half of the area gets that sun. Though it seems to be a little bit warmer due to being so close to buildings. The soil isn't in that great of shape so throughout winter i have been composting all of the residents compostables in the plot. This likely means i will have to pull out lots of vegetables when they sprout as they either wont get enough sun or be killed by midday scorching. The extra volunteers will likely go to a guerrilla garden somewhere in the neighborhood. Also the resident doesn't want to eat anything out of the plot due to when she dog sat for 6 months the dog used it as a bathroom.
