preparing for spring..
Although spring is not quite here (technically starts two weeks from today) I think I am going to force it to come early--quite literally. I sadly haven't planted any bulbs in my yard and to me spring is just not the same without them. So, this weekend I will be attempting to "force" some bulbs--thinking about hyacinth, as they have the loveliest aroma and possibly tulips. That way when spring does come I will have some fresh cut flowers to tote around in the basket of my bike...

What is your favorite spring flower? Or have you ever forced bulbs?

I can't wait to shed the winter coat!
Have a golden weekend!
I love peonies and dhalias, however tulips and daffodils scream "SPRING" to me.
Yes, I have forced bulbs. I did a whole bunch of them a few years back and it was a lot of work actually so I haven't done it again, but it is a fun project if you haven't done it before. I did tulips, hyacinth, and grape hyacinth. They do take quite a while to come up-several weeks in the refrigerator for the cool, dark environment they need, and then several more weeks in the sunlight. It's a good project to start in January. :)
My favorite spring flowers, hands down, are peonies!
