Caleb, Azurewolf...sigh ..NO NO NO!

Moni: well you are a busy bee in that yard! I love the look of asparagus fern but they can be messy when they dry out and drop all their leaves...er, I think they need water...yes, I'm quite sure that's what mine was missing...er before it turned all brown...LOL! I had one in college. Needless to say, it didn't survive.

I got pruning guides last year. Do I look at them before pruning my roses, winterberries, barberries or mugo pines? Nah! So far everything is thriving. The rabbits did a whole lot of free 'pruning' for me on several of my rosesbushes (all mine are low maintenance rugosas)and all but ate two of the little winterberries to the ground!(deciduous holly for anyone who isn't familiar with it!) I started the winterberry as little seedlings from our Conservation and Wildlife group 4 yrs ago. Looked so silly, planting twigs in my clay mud...sigh..but now 7 of the 10 are at least 2ft high and almost as wide and 4 have berried!!!! Nothing so pretty as those bright red berries on bare branches in the winter snow!

Gaelic, teehee! My yew shrubs get the Holly Tone next! LOL!! *far off look in the eyes, muttering about slow drip watering, CB walks off to the garden shed*
