Cleaning out the shed has been on my "to-do" list every year for 5 years now....Still haven't done it! same goes for washing all the windows on my house---I think that is going on 5 years as well.... The mind is willing----BUT....... Only things I have to dig up are some Cannas....planted in about 4 different places... It is dealing with my big Brugs that is scaring me....They have grown SOOO big this Summer! I know i will be trimming the stems back before I take them in my crowded basement.... This chore can hit suddenly--on any given day--when they announce a light frost is coming.... Talk about hustling..... This is a bittersweet thing to have to do--as in October, most of my Brugs have had the best flush of blooms. It hurts to have to cut them all off.... I have 2 large Hemlocks left to trim yet also. Already did my 2 large Junipers....4 lg. bags of trimmings going to the curb tonight for recycle p/u. Glad for this cooler weather we are having....a nice change of pace.... Here are the Junipers....The one on the left is done--the one on the right still not. This was in August... I hand-trim every branch with my pruning shears....talk about tired! You can see one of the Hemlocks on the left...the taller bush. This message was edited Sep 6, 2010 8:24 AM |
