Mon 25th Feb
Weather: 3°C. More degrees today but it still felt cold because of persistent arctic wind, but not as bitter as over the weekend.
I trained the morello cherry
Prunus cerasus today, which followed similar principles to the
fig.

Then I pruned some blue
Hydrangea macrophylla 'Blaumeise' from John Massey of Ashwood Nursery in the long border, a
Weigela praecox 'Variegata' that is apparently one of the oldest plants in the garden. I gave this only a really light touch and took out about a 1/10th - mainly dead/ flowered branches just to air it out alittle. Then I moved onto an
Abelia in the walled garden.

Hydrangea macrophylla 'Blaumeise'. These hydrangeas are tricky, I had to think about where the light/sun would hit them and they were potentially obscured by other plants. For notes on Hydrangea pruning Click Here |
