As we have a warm day here and there during the winter, it’s a good time to prune trees and shrubs. I’m currently working on a hydrangea hedge which is fairly large project.
The video below by Scott Woodbury shows you the basics.
If you’re looking for a fun Christmas present, you can buy seed packets now for 25 cents. Some are more expensive at $1.00, but most are just a quarter each.
The trick is that you have to pick them up yourself and you need to order them now.
Here is the link to order the seeds. https://seedstl.square.site/s/shop
