Forsythia is in full bloom all around us, and our forsythia is no exception. The bush is getting big and I think I'm going to have to do a serious pruning this year, after the flowering ends.
Forsythia blooming in our back yard.
I got a lot of sticks and fallen branches picked up yesterday in preparation for the yard's first full mowing. Now I want to change the oil in the lawnmower. I've been lax not having changed it in the past two years. On the positive side, I planted three varieties of tomato seeds and some zucchini seeds in the greenhouse yesterday. Spring is definitely here.
I love forsythia. I used to trim our enormous old plant every year. Pre-spring, I’d cut a bunch of budding branches and force their flowering in the bathtub. Happiness indoors.
ReplyDeleteForsythia! Beautiful! We don't have any in this yard, but my mom's house had a big stand of it. First thing to bloom every year.
ReplyDeleteThat forsythia is so cheerful. I do miss seeing the surge of new life every spring; the changes are much more subtle here.
ReplyDeleteBee you tee ful!!
ReplyDeleteLoving all the blooming plants around town. My daughter's forsythia are in bloom now as well! Just marvelous!
ReplyDeletemitch, I always think I should try that, but then I don't. Maybe it's the mild winters we have. There's no real motivation to hasten the arrival of spring.
ReplyDeletejudy, and so bright!
