Greetings from southern New Hampshire!
I finally finished my work on that tree bank! Four trailer loads of brush and clippings, and I excavated the water line across the front yard, replaced the ruptured pipe, and tomorrow, I will make a water manifold as well as repaires to the filter bog plumbing.
I am hoping to start the ground preparation in the garden. I picked up a disk harrow for a sleeve hitch, which my Craftsman garden tractor happens to have.
Our first daffodil blossomed, today. Tulips are pushing up buds as we... It looks like a bumper crop of lilacs, this spring.
“It looks like a bumper crop of lilacs, this spring.”
I hope so! I ‘inherited’ a grossly over-grown Lilac Hedge when I moved here 4 years ago. I’ve pruned and clipped and clipped and pruned for 3 years now! They have plenty of air circulation and NO ‘suckers’ that steal their energy to bloom.
They had BETTER give me a lovely display this Spring! They are budded out and ready to rock. We had a LONG discussion today concerning exactly WHAT is expected of them this season, LOL!
