If you can believe it, February 1st is the day on which you can first bring in forsythia branches to force. Most forsythia - unless someone has pruned them (hope not!) will have shoots that grew longer than the rest of the bush during the summer. Just cut these right above a bud and put a bunch of them into a tall vase with warm water. Within a week they will be in full bloom. A harbinger of Spring (which I was taught to capitalize but no one does anymore….) Anne Warner
