Ok, its January, I am ravaged with cabin fever. I am grabbing my snow suit, mittens, cutters, a hammer and a five gallon bucket and going out in the polar tundra and pruning some forsythia branches....nuts you say.. yeah, nuts to be going outside!!

When I am through I am gonna beat the ends of those branches to near a pulp, bundle them up in the bucket, fill it with water and stick them in a closet for ten days. If they do not have blooms by then....no telling what I'm gonna do!

Rigth now I already have aussie willows in a bucket and well, they are rooting.. and sporting little teeny tiny blooms and well... I am excited they wil be turning into trees for me later on.
