A fence installed by upset neighbors leads to a story about "Forcing" Forsythia to Bloom Indoors while Propagating new Forsythia Plants in hopes of mending fences.
We chat about the steps to Encourage Forsythia to bloom indoors (some call it Forcing Forsythia, but encouraging sounds gentler) and how and when to plant your new plant babies.
The sunny yellow flowers of Forsythia are the first we see welcoming new beginnings of Spring. It only rises about as tall as the fence, opening the possibility of the neighbors becoming friends.
