| Hi ya'll,
Have i waited too late to cut them back? Things are hectic, and today i thought about it - as i spent ALL day out in the yard. Wasn't today gorgeous?!?! I have worked in the yard all day today – well since about noon – I had to do my sister’s taxes first. I used the blower cleaning up a lot of leaves – I did some raking yesterday – and realized I have TOO much property to rake – gotta use a blower, and use the rake for INSIDE the flower beds. my arms are ACHING from using the blower all day, and i still have MORE to do at some point. For some STRANGE reason, I thought the blower would be "easy" – guess that was b/c I never used it – butthead always did that. Hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful day... |

| It was so pretty today, I worked outside from 9 till 5 little girl had fun helping momma dig holes for the flowers we were moving. We moved the banana tree and elephant ears what a job. I know everyone else is ready for their flowers to bloom. Happy gardening everyone. Muscles will be aching tommorow. Jill |

| Go ahead and cut 'em back. Sounds like you're in the mood to do a little damage! I cut my abelia almost to the ground every third year or so. Keeps them full and fresh looking. Within a month or two, you'd never know they'd been assaulted with a deadly pruner. For the nandina, I cut the tallest stalks back to near the ground about this time of year. The new growth is lower and keeps them from getting gangly. LauraK |
