grannys gone and done it

[h2oratt]

I'm doing great! A little sick from all the people and dust though. I am so happy I found them! They were the breeds I wanted first, but I could not find any within two hours of where I lived.

Thank you! They are Belgian d' anvers, both are about two years old. 

I am a very ignorant chicken owner. They look like my ee.

Is that your daughter. She looks mighty happy.

Hi granny! I was trimming a shrub that hasn't been done since we moved in. It's an invasive species! Tree Ligustrum.

 

[Granny Hatchet]

we have a shrub with that name but its not invasive here. I think it has very tiny white blooms . Not bought for the flower but screening.

That's it! I'm cutting mine back. Not sure how... I'm thinking about cutting it back to just the biggest branches. I've already cut everything lower than my knees. The branches were dragging the ground.

What kind of trees do you have there ? I bet magnolia are pretty there. We can grow the small shrub type like janes magnolia.

They're pretty in the northern part of the state. We have one here at camp, really scraggly. I should plant more! My favorite are gardenias.

with those you can trim them however you want them to look. They are hardy . I havent trimmed mine yet . Its getting good sized and hiding what I bought it for.
