“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!
I repaired the ice-ruptured pvc piping to the bog filter from the pond and it is now operational and the ducks are delighted to have “their” stream running, again.
I put in the two landscape timber posts for the electric fence gate to the coop and cleaned up the area. I also raked last year’s growth away from the peonies that used to be along the coop fence line...which I moved about 10’ away. Making progress.
I dug up the water line to the roadside planter and replaced broken piping. Today or tomorrow, I will finish making the water manifold in front to make a permanent fix.
I am really pleased with the cleanup of the tree banking between our driveway and the roadside planter. Barb has many packets of wildflower seeds to sow out there.
Our first daffodils are blooming...and the forecast snow for last night didn’t happen. Spring might finally get here, by say 4th of July!
I love lilacs. Are you going to post pictures if they bloom?
