Oh, my arms!

I spent a good part of today trimming my damaged Boxwood bushes. I started off with a hand trimmer, but after an hour of painfully clipping each dead branch, I decided to pull out the big guns.....our power trimmer! It made the chore soooo much easier. It still took a good amount of time, but at least my hands are not in a lot of pain!
I also fertilized all the plants using my fish emollsion. The stuff stinks, but kind of reminds me of the ocean. LOL! I learned last year that you don't have to carry around a heavy jug of this stuff and water. I think it was Paul James that all you have to do is spray the stuff on your plants. So.....I mixed up a batch, and sprayed away. Time will tell if this works just as well.
I can't believe how much better the plants look after the rain!
