Just Cut It

Spring seems to have come a little early this year?  I mean 70s in April?  We sure deserve it after the winter we struggled through.  So it’s Maintenance Time boys!

I suggest you do most if not ALL your trimming/pruning in the spring.  Most plants prefer a spring trim and in fact, if you cut back on plants such as roses, you may do worse by them.

Follow along as I make Jay get down and dirty in the garden…..while I film….him trimming back our ornamental grasses

and diagnosing what’s still alive after the rabbits had their way with the shrub roses.

If you have any specific questions about what to cut….what not to cut (the lilacs by the way…leave them alone until they bloom) just spill em!  I’ll let you know what to take the pruners to!

Happy Planting!
