Fearless Forsythia!

Mar 03, 2010 - 08:03 pm

March can be pretty scary around here, weather-wise.  Sun and snow shadow each other, this year more than ever.  Predicting the weather is a crap shoot, for plants and flowers as much as for weather prognosticators. 

Everywhere are innocent bulbs, frozen in time after having been fooled into thinking the sun was here to stay.  Flowering trees are covered with buds that don’t know whether to burst out or cower-and-cling.  It’s a mess.

DON’T’ DO IT!
