A friend of mine gave us pots that her workplace was pitching. There were a total of 5 pots. 2 small and three large. The large pots are 18 inches tall and two feet wide. Below is a photo of two of the large pots. They even came with soil. Thanks Cat.
Just when you thought the mulch was gone. A whole new truck load. This batch seems to be a little more finely chipped up. Again, I will say to all the Nay Sayer's of using fresh wood chips for mulch, run on.
The Forsythia is blooming like mad this year. I cannot say enough good things about this plant. It is perfect for us here at Ghetto Gardens. Its easy to come by, hard to kill, and easy to control. If it gets out of control, or looking a little sad, cut it to the ground. It might not be good for the plant according to a Master gardener, but it is my experience, it always comes back, and the plant doesn't seem to mind.
I would also like to add that Forsythia is easy to start. You can find starts coming up around the plant. You can also pin a branch to the ground and it will take root. Some even say a cutting will take root in a glass of water. So if your neighbor or friend have a Forsythia bush, they will be more than happy to give you a start.
