meeting and it is worth repeating We need to be mindful that not evshyeryone loves furry creatures as much as we do When walking your pet in the neighborhood please keep himher on a leash and even more importantly please do the right thing and clean up afshyter your little (or large) darling Nobody should have to routinely watch where they step in their own yard because of a dog owners negshyligence or have to do our dirty work for us So as they say just do it

So far this year we have welshycomed a number of new faces to the PHeA meeting Was yours one

GarUener I ts that time of year

again The Redskins are tearing our hearts

out the lawn is no longer demanding quantity time and the trees are bare of leaves Well a lot of trees are bare but not all of them The evergreens hang on to their foliage through the bleakness of winter and as a winter-phobic I wouldnt be withshyout them With the holidays headshying our way this is a great time to prune them

The trick to pruning is to use pruners not shears or hedge trim mers Lets save these shaping tools for the boxwood topiary of your favorite presidential cancli-middot date Get yourself a pair of good bypass (as opposed to anvil) pruners a set of loppels (for larger branches) and a sharpening stone Reach into dense shrubs such as Hollies Junipers Cherry Laurels and Boxwoods and cut branches that are long enough to use for hol-middot iday decorations (even if youre not going to use them this way) shyno nipping little bits of bush please This will open up the canopy and promote growth inside the shrub Years of shearing can leave all of the foliage in a shell on

the outside allowing snow to accumulate like a heavy blanket Thinning out weak twiggy growth and opening up windows into the bush will create a stronger infrastructure (a great 90s word) When you finish pruning the

shrubs ought to look like they havent been touched I like to prune Azaleas and other flowering shrubs when they are in bloom and enjoy them in a vase

If a bush is really overgrown youve got four options ignore it sculpt it into a small tree form reshymove it completely or prune it back severely over a three year peshyriod By randomly removing only a third of the growth each year the plant is able to feed its roots which in turn will feed the new growth that will sprout from the stumps And youre not left with your foundation exposed for all the world to see

Next time well talk about prun-middot ing trees and deciduous shrubs a perfect post-season activity~

GarUener I ts that time of year

again The Redskins are tearing our hearts

out the lawn is no longer demanding quantity time and the trees are bare of leaves Well a lot of trees are bare but not all of them The evergreens hang on to their foliage through the bleakness of winter and as a winter-phobic I wouldnt be withshyout them With the holidays headshying our way this is a great time to prune them

The trick to pruning is to use pruners not shears or hedge trim mers Lets save these shaping tools for the boxwood topiary of your favorite presidential cancli-middot date Get yourself a pair of good bypass (as opposed to anvil) pruners a set of loppels (for larger branches) and a sharpening stone Reach into dense shrubs such as Hollies Junipers Cherry Laurels and Boxwoods and cut branches that are long enough to use for hol-middot iday decorations (even if youre not going to use them this way) shyno nipping little bits of bush please This will open up the canopy and promote growth inside the shrub Years of shearing can leave all of the foliage in a shell on

the outside allowing snow to accumulate like a heavy blanket Thinning out weak twiggy growth and opening up windows into the bush will create a stronger infrastructure (a great 90s word) When you finish pruning the

shrubs ought to look like they havent been touched I like to prune Azaleas and other flowering shrubs when they are in bloom and enjoy them in a vase

If a bush is really overgrown youve got four options ignore it sculpt it into a small tree form reshymove it completely or prune it back severely over a three year peshyriod By randomly removing only a third of the growth each year the plant is able to feed its roots which in turn will feed the new growth that will sprout from the stumps And youre not left with your foundation exposed for all the world to see

Next time well talk about prun-middot ing trees and deciduous shrubs a perfect post-season activity~
