FORCING SPRING BLOOMS

Forsythia, dogwood, redbud and other early spring-blooming trees and shrubs will provide indoor color if heavily budded branches are forced into bloom. Cut a few weeks before normal bloom time, and put the stems in warm water in a vase, changing the water daily. Buds will start to open within a few days, bringing spring magic indoors.

Outdoor Play Makes You Smarter
At least that’s the take-home message from this article 
in the San Jose Mercury News. It’s true that the evidence is stacking up: Humans, especially children, need more time outdoors to keep our brains and our bodies happy and healthy. The article touts that a 20-minute walk in “nature” will boost your attention span and that a room overlooking nature has an impact on impulse control and gratification delay.
Hmm. Sounds like a great reason for more gardens and natural landscaping in our yards, parks, schools and public spaces. It might be time to start prescribing gardens.

                        The Daffodil is the March flower of the month.

Spring will be here soon and you will want to enjoy some fresh picked daffodils.
When daffodil stems are cut, they release sap that can shorten the life of other flowers. To prevent this, after cutting their stems, place them in a bucket of water for at least 12 hours on their own before mixing them with other flowers.  Or enjoy them in a vase by themselves.
