The English springtime blossoms assure us that winter is truly over. I was scouring my garden for those very assurances and I noted sprouts of narcissus and crocus! I had last week plucked some forsythia branches and placed them in a vase of water. A few weeks in a sunny south-facing window should give me rows of yellow flowers on each branch.
As an experiment I also placed a branch of a budding blueberry shrub in water to see if it can be forced to bloom indoors.
