Pruning Shrubs
799 Answers
Have any of you lovely gardeners hard pruned, into old thick wood, any of the following shrubs and had them live to see another year?!! I read all the books but there's so much conflicting advice when it comes to renovation pruning.
Olearia haastii (Daisy bush)
Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle - think this one will be ok)
Cotinus (smoke Bush).

Hope it's not smellyvision neti :o)...Those costumes are horrible, bet they scare the kids don't they?
Evening all...nothing much to report here either, this warm weather's put me in a lazier than normal mode, well, almost grind to a halt mode, haha...even the birds disappeared & had a siesta this afternoon.
Hope you're all as well as you can be....

Hooray have just managed to download the right Midsomer "Echoes of the Dead" so am watching it. I can hear the procession in the village and the awful lone slow drumbeat, puts the willies up me really. Kids? I don't know Robi, it's all part of their heritage and they are very fond of it all! and those hats and robes are made to measure and cost an absolute fortune!
Weather bucked up for a while, but more washing is hanging under the patio cos not sure if it will rain again!

Morning all...Very overcast here & feels heavy. Have you got your gas mask on jno? I see it's very smoggy down your way.
oooh woofy, stop yawning, it's catching :o). I can't wake up this morning, the problem with warm night is that the yoofs mill about on corners up & down the road & I don't think they were doing any harm but they do talk/shout loudly. Bet they'll all be asleep in bed 'til dinner time, tut.
Neti the (new Barnaby) lovely Neil Dudgeon's been in lots of things, most recently...in fact I think it's on at the moment.... is the awful Life of Riley with Caroline Quentin (who I really don't like). Is that what you're thinking of? I can't believe they made another series. He first got my attention in something called Sorted, a drama series about postmen and I loved that but they didn't do another series.

Have come in from outside. My eyes and nose are streaming and my eyes are red and sore. Ears are bunged up - hayfever or allergy of some sort. Have taken a pill.
Warning, Neti you can avoid these pictures, but I am proud of my garden at the moment. These are the front garden today, which you can't see f rom the road, so is very private.
