Outside My Window
February 8th, 2010
Forcing blooms indoors.

In the depths of winter we often get a few unusually warm days. Spring may still be a long way off, but there's a few reasons  why now is a great time for some shrub pruning!

It not only breaks the winter blahs, but during the dormant season you can easily see the dormant Lilac buds just need a bit of indoor treatment to flower early indoors.shrub's framework for repair and improvement.   

 Why not wait until March you ask?     Well ... if the plants you’re pruning are spring bloomers, like Forsythia, Magnolia, Cherry, Crab Apple, or Lilac, there's a bonus to be had!  Tricking them into blooming early indoors is another wonderful way to get some winter gardening gratification.  Here’s what to do. 
 It's a pretty straightforward procedure ...

Cheers! Evelyn
