I know sprung is not a real word…but when I look outside that’s how it feels. I’ve been watching forsythia for a few days, waiting to see them all flower. Yesterday I took some pictures when it wasn’t raining for a few minutes! They are glorious! I hope the neighbors appreciate the color, since their houses end up in my pictures!
Several years ago, we had to remove 27 blue spruce trees that had formed our property line for 40+ years. They finally succumbed to disease and needed to be removed. Two years ago, Bert finally agreed to plant 65 forsythia plants along the property line. They’ve been growing but really didn’t bloom much until this year. What a wonderful treat while we wait for the grass to get green and the temperatures to finally stay above freezing. I’m ready for garden season, 2025!
Beautiful! I do miss those spruce trees though.
Happy spring!
I know…I miss them too but they were threatening to fall on to our neighbor’s house! That could have been an expensive disaster and we still would have had to remove the trees! Oh well!
Thanks for sharing the photos. From a distance those forsythia plants almost look like a Texas wildfire!
Luckily they’re just pretty plants! The flowers stay pretty for a week or two. Even now they’re transitioning to green leaves.
