Trim the roses opening day Red Sox ,, Rose of Sharon cut back when bark softens 1/3rd, don't cut back your Mock Orange till after it blooms,also trim back your Licacs (just the flower) after bloom
Now you can take your Forsithia & pussy willow top shoots and force them inside, don't forget the forsithia can be cut and rerooted just cut off all latteral branches at least 6" and get a group of them push in ground keep watered and you'll have new shrubs
I was a total freak about horniculture until I got my 1ST boat 10yrs ago I had 32 vir of roses blueberry bushes shaped into freakey shapes I'm so happy now when my lawn burns by July 4TH
now it's evergreens & hostas Tigerlillys and daiseys

My wife does it ,, loves it ... when neighbors have company they've asked to bring thier relatives in the yard .. I take full credit due to all the fish carcasses I've buried out there ..

Oil sprayed the fruit trees a couple of days ago. Prune tommorow. DFig out the giant pumpkin grow pits and dig a couple of new ones. Staying home this summer so I'll give it a go with four AG pumpkins this year. I think Ill oil spray the trees one more time after I prune.

I have over a hundred peper plants in trays down celler. Started some great AG pumpkin seeds yesterday. All of the seeds except one comes from fruits that weighed over 1000 #'s. One was 1300++, and another was 1170 #'s. Maybe this year the varmints wont decide to make the biggest one a condo.

Raised beds need repairing, to keep them raised. Strawberries just have to be weeded out. I have to remember to take off my wedding ring before I go in the garden this year. Pain in the ass borrowing metal detector.
