Yesterday I posted about our scheduled power outage. I looked for a picture to go with it and I chose an old picture of our garden (because there is a power line running along the boundary). And then when I looked at that picture...

We have been busy doing some renovations in our garden and one activity was to trim down plants which is normally done just after the monsoon. There is a technique for doing it correctly and apparently we seem to have done it...

Always smiling @allknowing (153544) • India 17 Aug 21

Most plants need pruning sometimes shallow and sometimes deep. Deep pruning results in robust new shoots but one has to be careful while doing it. The right time has to be chosen for it. Our gardener did some deep pruning at a...

Yes, it’s pruning time again for me. I was pruning my Calamondin/Calamansi fruit plant. My beautiful citrus fruit Calamondin was losing leaves and some branches were dying. I felt sad thinking that it could die and so I try my...

A must!

Toni @toniganzon (77064) • Philippines 28 Jan 21

One thing I learned as a plant parent is making pruning a habit. Prices of plants in this country has increased exorbitantly due to high demand. The demand is too high that we even experience shortages in some varieties of...

I only have a small garden so I sometimes have to look for miniature versions of some of my favourite plants so I was pleased to find a dwarf buddleia. I cut it back a bit last winter and I began to think that this year it was...

A Thorny Treat

Jackie Money @olliesmum (828) • Norwich, England 16 Jul 19

I've been dead heading my Floribunda rose regularly and it seems to have paid off. This little beauty is just showing it's pretty little pink face to the world and what a joyful thing it is. Sadly, the same can't be said of...

What a Difference a Day Makes

Jackie Money @olliesmum (828) • Norwich, England 15 Jul 19

Our fig tree was getting a bit large so last night, armed with a saw and some secateurs I began cutting it back a bit. The growth at the bottom of the tree was shooting out a little bit too rapidly and, as we need height rather...

Grapes after the pruning.

ingrid @ridingbet (66854) • Philippines 6 Jul 19

I do not know if I posted a discussion before about our grapevine bearing some grapes. I posted some pictures on FB. My sister pruned the vines after I picked the fruits- and they were sweet. Two Saturdays ago, our laundry woman...

I finished the last two parts of mowing I needed to do less than an hour ago. I am sweaty, and I am really looking forward to a great shower. But first I am going to go harvest my lavender blooms, so that they will bloom again...

Here in Australia we are in the last few weeks of winter, which means that it is time for me to get out and prune my roses. Last spring I had just moved into this house, and it was the first time I had ever pruned roses. I didn't...

My house sounds like an office in a sawmill.

marguicha @marguicha (230334) • Chile 27 Mar 18

This morning life has been difficult. Outside, the workers are cutting up the trees. The electric saw hurts my ears, but I have to accept it. In the morning, while I was mylotting a bit, I heard a bell ringing. I went out to ask...

Good morning, dear lotters. Today we have a lot of things to do in my garden after Claudia´s work yesterday with the pruning shears. She was afraid that robbers would hide on a shrubbery I have near the door so she cut off many...

I called Marco to help us.

marguicha @marguicha (230334) • Chile 1 Sep 17

After the conversation with Leticia, I decided that we would need a helper for the most difficult things from now on. Leticia will not get completely well and I like a tidy house and garden. So I made a deal with Marco. He will...

My hands are trembling: I pruned the ivy.

marguicha @marguicha (230334) • Chile 28 Sep 16

Just now, while Leticia was weeding (I caný do that as my tummy hurts where the lymphoma is) I started to prune the ivy I have in the fence. It is not an easy job and the scissors are much too heavy. While I was doing it, I...

Diana Abrahamson @dianadee (1778) • South Africa 25 Feb 16

I really get lost in my garden doing all sorts of interesting things. My husband cuts branches off shrubs and I help pull them away, to the other end of the property. Raking up leaves from trees, planting out Butternut squash...

We had our first frost of the year last night so I decided today would be a good day to prune our lemon trees a little bit. But I found that there are many buds on them that will be blooming in a day or two. I hope they don't get...

Do you have a "plant rescue" success story?

thinkingoutloud @thinkingoutloud (6127) • Canada 7 Jun 09

When I bought my house several years ago, it had only one previous owner... a senior lady who had become wheelchair bound. She was a former avid gardener and missed being able to get outside. She told me about the magnolia she had...
