My mission the past couple of weeks has been to prune back all the shrubs and trees in the yard... front and back. Wow, in doing so I have really opened up the yard. The front yard was first, pruned the lilac bushes, the snowball bush, and the dogwood. The yard looks so much tidier and bigger. It's like I grew a bigger yard.
Working on the backyard now. Got the cotoneasters and the lilac bush in the corner. Going to wait on the rose-of-sharon as it is in bloom and I don't want to cut those off. I'll prune it back once it is done blooming.
Today I am going to chip all the cuttings. Make some more mulch and get that laid out, it makes the flowerbeds look finished and highlights the plants as opposed to dirt/mud that pools and runs off in places. After yardwork today I will take some pictures and post them. Maybe I can find some before and after photos? And with that being said, time to head for the garden.
