~Forcing Spring Blooms~

~Forcing Spring Blooms~ It is amazing how just a little bit of warmth and sunshine can make a difference in the garden. We left for four days on a ski trip since the kids had some time off school and since we've been back, it's been sunny and in the 60's. The grass is greener and already needs mowed and all my bushes and shrubs have signs of tiny green buds appearing. My forsythia bush is a mass of yellow blooms as well. I always cut some branches before they bloom to bring inside and force them to open. Enjoy! xoxo K My bathroom is a great place for this since it has lots of light coming in and the steam from the shower helps as well. It only took a couple days for them to start blooming. It is a great way to save money plus add some color into your home just by cutting some branches, placing them in a pitcher of water and waiting a few days. I will also be doing this with my apple and pear branches later on in the Spring. It has felt like Spring here the last couple of days and I'm loving it!
