New Forsythia

They're on the way.

Most were started last fall by covering-up low branches with mulch. In a few weeks, they'll be ready to be snipped-off from the mother plant. CG has identified at least 8 spots for the new forsythia.

It does takes some patience. It's tempting to pay money for instant results, but it is so much rewarding to grow your own. In 5 years CG might have an out of control thicket of forsythia to deal with, but he'll have extra help from his gardening assistant.
