Gardener’s Diary – Pruning

I pruned the three hydrangeas in the front. It struck me as pretty stupid that I cleaned up someone else’s yesterday but hadn’t done ours.

It was a nasty job because I’ve not done a real clean-up in a while, if ever. There was a bushel or more of dead wood and leaves. I also pruned any winter-kill on the ends of the branches and horizontal strays.

It was a great day to be outside – shirtsleeves weather. Good workout, too.
