It was so pretty today, I worked outside from 9 till 5 little girl had fun helping momma dig holes for the flowers we were moving. We moved the banana tree and elephant ears what a job. I know everyone else is ready for their flowers to bloom. Happy gardening everyone. Muscles will be aching tommorow.

According to the calendar, it's still winter ;-)

Go ahead and cut 'em back. Sounds like you're in the mood to do a little damage!

I cut my abelia almost to the ground every third year or so. Keeps them full and fresh looking. Within a month or two, you'd never know they'd been assaulted with a deadly pruner.

For the nandina, I cut the tallest stalks back to near the ground about this time of year. The new growth is lower and keeps them from getting gangly.

I could have swore I replied to this message this morning. Oh well. Go ahead and cut them back.

Thanks ya'll! I will cut them back this weekend....
