Lorena is the champion of our property. This year, she decided she would take on both the weed patch that the gardens and flower beds had become and also the pruning of the fruit trees. Last spring we had our gardener clean out a lot of the weeds and put in bark dust. Lorena has kept the weeds at by in those areas with Roundup and has worked, little by little on other areas of the garden. She pruned two of the fruit trees–an apple and a pear. It was a ton of work but she really enjoyed it. Now, with spring’s arrival, they are blossoming spectacularly. Her plan for next year is to start a little earlier and do all of the trees. She also plans to clean up more of the flower beds and lawn. It is a lot of work that she can hardly keep herself from doing all the time.
