With normal highs in the low fifties and lows in the mid-thirties, some parts of the natural world were caught unprepared too. I’m sure our witch hazel bush wasn’t expecting over a half-foot [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of the lilacs I’ve seen have put on a nice show of flowers this spring. Some could have been even better if their owners had removed the spent flowers last spring. Not many people are aware that deadheading lilacs is the best thing you can do for them to stimulate better flowers next year. [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In order to grow  and flourish all plants, including roses, require basically the same nutrients. One is carbon which is supplied to the plant by carbon dioxide in the air. Another, even though we may not think of it as a nutrient, is water. In the soil, there are three primary nutrients that plants use [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Spring is the best time of year to plant trees. During the winter the dormant buds and roots are in a kind of holding pattern until the right growing conditions happen in the spring. Then they have the entire growing season to establish themselves before next winter. No doubt you&#8217;re aware of the requirements for [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re getting an early taste of spring at our house by forcing branches into bloom. It&#8217;s something gardeners have done for centuries ever since someone figured out if you cut some branches and bring them into a warm room during the winter, they will bloom.

In the meantime you can bring a little bit of spring early into your home by forcing shrub and tree branches into budding out of season. The shrub everyone thinks of first is pussy willows with their irresistible silver, fuzzy buds. There are [&#8230;]]]></description>

The shrub had the most striking metallic-blue berries I had ever seen. Years later I found out it was a silky dogwood. Now decades later, I found another silky dogwood [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It looks like a good spring for forsythia this year. I&#8217;m seeing plenty of yellow flowers on forsythia shrubs all around our area. Some bushes have loads of flowers while others look not quite as nice. The difference is,  gardeners with forsythia loaded with flowers have taken the time to prune their shrubs, while the [&#8230;]]]></description>

Now is the perfect time to make those decisions because the leaves are gone from the trees and bushes in the yard.  Since evergreens keep their leaves or needles, their deep green color will stand out from the rest of [&#8230;]]]></description>
