We had a great day on the new job yesterday. The crew works like a well oiled machine and they have really done an incredible amount of work. I could do what I do without too much interference. There are 100 feet of boxwood hedges at home and I am against the size of all the English type dwarfs. The others I am shearing loose and hit with hand pruners. I call it a hybrid technique, where I get really hairy all growth with gas cutters. They are probably the most abused tool I've ever seen. Plants and gardens have never been the same since they were invented.

Funny thing about this garden was, I went in early March to make an estimate and not a sensation of heat from everything. I feel that I can normally assess a garden and even in the good points of winter, but this place was totally fooled. When I came back home yesterday my breath was literally taken away by the 20 + Pink Flowering Dogwoods in full bloom. It looked like an enchanted forest. I wear a wide today to try to capture the scene, but I am not hopeful. I thought it was funny that I posted a picture on this blog Pink Flowering Dogwood only hours before.
