Pruning Shrubs
799 Answers
Have any of you lovely gardeners hard pruned, into old thick wood, any of the following shrubs and had them live to see another year?!! I read all the books but there's so much conflicting advice when it comes to renovation pruning.
Olearia haastii (Daisy bush)
Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle - think this one will be ok)
Cotinus (smoke Bush).

Evenin' all...haha, I haven't been doing anything exciting at all, it was just a vanman & house stuff day...and I was determined to have at least one day off the internet this month to do some sorting. With having Charlie to consider anything that got him over excited had to be postponed or put off altogether, he liked things to be the same everyday, bless him. I need a bit of decorating doing too so I'll drop a hint to Tarquin, haha, and if there's no reaction I know a man who does odd jobs at 'pocket money' price.
I've been doing the same as everyone else too by the look of it...spending ages on the phone sorting things out! Even when I was married I was the one who sorted all the money/bills & it didn't worry me but now I think I'm fast becoming finance phobic, everything that includes a bill is so bloody complicated these days. Press 1 press 2..... If you want to sit and sob about this Press 9!!! aaagghhh!
I'm hobbling too, the back of one of my heels is soooo painful & I can't even bear to touch it. I've no idea why, no injury or anything visible. Oh booger it, haha...take it easy everyone...and neti please stop snapping things.

Hi Robi this may sound daft but I'm pleased it was something boring and not Hospitals Drs. or Dentists. Hope you got all sorted ok.
I called into the dentisit today to make an appointment after I got one of those messages on my phone. Wondered what it was. My appointment is in June they can't do it any earlier.
Have you noticed we have aquired 2 foreign Biddies. I don't understand a word of it. Even when I try to translate it with the help of Shaney's link.
I'm off now to wash the pots before Mastermind Final comes on at 7.30.
Bye for now everybiddy!

Actually I forgot to say ...I'm due a dental check up (I've not rung yet, are we waiting until June?!!), my eye-test is due...and I've got to go for an armful of fasting blood tests. Don't these people know I can't do everything at once?! :o)

All I said was "I love you (you as in three people, which is why I added the + to include everyone) all" and I think shaney agreed and I agreed back. It too hard to work out what others are saying cos the pidgin is not alphabetically listed, only the English, so all I say is Oh I agree!!.
Oh Robi, there was I imagining you frollicking through the fields with a chappie!!

rainy here today - as far as I'm concerned it can rain till I leave on Tuesday; if it gets hot and sunny again, I'll have to be dragged onto the plane kicking and screaming.
Girl from over the road came visiting yesterday to explain she was holding her 18th birthday party at home last night until 11pm, at which point it would head for a disco downtown. She would do her best to keep noise under control until then, but gave us her phone numbers to call in case anyone thought it was getting too noisy, thanks for our forbearance, and some chocolates by way of compensation. Now how's that for good-neighbourliness? (And the party wasn't specially rowdy anyway.)
