Garden troubles of Dot... The beginning...
Monday, March 1, 2021...
With the spring approaching and the better weather I started to work carefully in my garden the last few days (read: jungle). A few bushes I pruned away so hard a while ago that I wasn't sure if they would live, but luckily I already see some foothills with knobs. Also here and there there is a crocus that held strong among all the weeds. I discovered that there was another climbing hydrangea hidden under a lot of prickly blackberries and my lilacs survived the surviving.
Spiny affair, by the way, those blackberries.. I only now understand why that prince from the fairy tales took so long to get to the Sleeping Beauty. No getting through to. Although I love blackberries very much, I don't think the bush is very friendly.. despite long sleeves and leather work gloves, his spines prick quite. My tactic to get in between by cutting branches with my pruner shears takes quite a bit of time.
Goed gewerkt jongedame. 👍
