I don't have forsythia but neighbors do... still not flowering here.
I'm waiting to see how the two mulberry trees I planted last fall will
do.... I son't expect berries yet, I'll be happy for leaves. Drove to
the local plant nursery today, bought two large bags of potting soil
for our vegetable seeds. It was a long hard winter here, I'm happy
that spring has arrived.
