Today I am going to tackle the boxwood hedge. Two years ago I never would have considered trimming it, but now I think it needs just a little taming. And because we are now past the mad gardening rush of May and early June, there are sales. And it’s time to plan a little shade garden for the west side of the house. But first the hedge.
And if I happen to find some delicious coral bells on sale? I’ll add to the wonderful bed that is on the other side of the hedge.
I haven’t always been a gardener, but I have always loved gardens. It has taken 16 years to get my gardens into the shape they are today. And, I’ve had help. I’m 74 years old, have rheumatoid arthritis, and had a late stage cancer six years ago. I am, though, intrepid. I’m the kind of person who plods along, tailoring my goals as I go. Last November I had a long overdue knee replacement surgery and I’m hoping this spring, summer, and fall will be able to maintain and find even more joy working in all of my garden beds. Full disclosure, though. I have a garden guy who comes once a week to work in my gardens.
