Information on pruning overgrown plants.

Your goals are to have adequate air flow throughout the plant, remove diseased or dead branches, and have good light penetrating the entire plant.

Remove any branch that is rubbing against another. This can cause an open wound on the branch, which is an opportunity for disease to invade the plant.

Remove branches that are growing toward the center of the plant. Also, remove any branches that cross each other. Remember we want to provide both air circulation and light penetration.

Remove any dead or diseased branches. A dead branch will be brittle, its buds will be brown. While a live branch will be flexible, buds will be green and there will be a green layer under the bark.

Generally, remove 1/3 of the plants’ height or 1/3 of its branches.

Remove any suckers and or waterspouts. These 2 types of branches look similar, growing straight up. However, a sucker originates from the roots or below the graft. While the waterspout will be vigorous and originate from the trunk or large branches.

Here is some additional information:

Daisugi, Growing Trees Out of Other Trees?

Save the Trees! We know that trees are our natural air filters, provide oxygen, water conservation, soil preservation, and support wildlife. Growing trees out of other trees? Seems like it is impossible? When I read about this method and saw images of this process, I thought, “Surely this has to be Photoshopped.” Some think that this method is a hoax and not possible. Yet such tree cultivation is…

8 Fall Strategies for Preparing Commercial Landscapes for Winter

1. Assessing Your Commercial Landscape's Unique Needs

As autumn hues paint the landscape, it's crucial for commercial property managers to start planning for winter. Preparing your commercial landscape for winter can help you avoid costly repairs and safety hazards. Each property has its unique characteristics, and these eight fall strategies will guide you in safeguarding your commercial landscape against the harsh winter elements.

2. Perform a Comprehensive Clean-Up

The first step in preparing your commercial landscape for winter is to conduct a thorough clean-up. Remove leaves, debris, and dead plants to ensure your property looks tidy and to prevent potential hazards.

3. Pruning and Tree Maintenance

Proper pruning and tree maintenance are essential during the fall season. Trimming branches and removing deadwood enhances the aesthetic appeal and minimizes the risk of falling limbs during winter storms.

4. Fertilization and Soil Health

Fall is an ideal time to fortify your commercial landscape's soil health. Fertilize your lawns and plants to provide them with the essential nutrients they need to withstand the harsh winter conditions.

5. Irrigation System Winterization

To prevent costly damage to your irrigation system, it's crucial to winterize it before freezing temperatures arrive. This step ensures that your system won't burst or malfunction during the cold months.

6. Plant Protection and Mulching

Applying a layer of mulch around your plants helps regulate soil temperature, conserve moisture, and guard against frost damage, all of which are important aspects of protecting your plants from harsh winter weather.

7. Snow and Ice Management Planning

Don't wait until the first snowfall to plan for snow and ice removal. Establish a clear snow management plan and contract with a reliable snow removal service to keep your property safe and accessible during winter.

8. Hardscape Inspection and Repair

Inspect your commercial property's hardscape features, such as walkways and retaining walls, for signs of wear and damage. Addressing issues now can prevent further deterioration during the winter.

Properly preparing your commercial landscaping for winter is essential for maintaining its beauty, safety, and functionality. Following these eight fall strategies ensures that your property remains in excellent condition throughout the colder months. To save time, money, and potential difficulties, begin your preparations now rather than waiting until winter. Remember, a well-prepared landscape enhances your property's appearance and keeps occupants safe and satisfied.

Grow Grass in the Shade

You can grow a pretty swath of lawn in a shady spot, as long as you pick the right grass and take care of it properly. Most turf grasses need at least four hours of direct sun to survive, but specialized shade-tolerant grass blends thrive in four hours of dappled sun or partial shade. In the cool-season grass category, the shade-tolerant grasses are rye and fine and tall fescues. Warm-season…

Woo! Phantasmagoria! Shadow Milk Cookie :D (also known as Phantas when it comes to AUs)

It may be messy, but I've spent too long trying to come up with a design for jester man over here. Let's just embrace the chaos SMC style. This is also the guy who designed Pure Vanilla and Wind Archer's outfits by the way. He does not like his hair.

Spring is springing! Clover and purple deadnettle and yellow madder are coming up, to the delight of the bees. (In the background: my neighbor's shaved lawn.)

#the lemon balm and lenten roses are coming back too #and i've divided some of the iris in hopes they'll take in a new spot #and pruned the trees #gardening

also, another headcanon brought to you by concepts from the art book:

so context first, bob's mind was originally a town of little porcelain people that was constantly changing water levels due to his alcoholism. we saw glimpses of this in the psychodessy, but now in the art book theres these pages of frankly super adorable art of all the little porcelain people and their town trinketon

so NOW, the headcanon: bob likes collecting little porcelain ppl and town set pieces and arranging them as a side hobby. some of these are also pots for indoor plants in his house but a lot of them are just purely decorative and cute. he is very old man coded at the tender age of 40-something (source; my grandma has a full set of those porcelain christmas villages they sell during the holidays so this is very old people core to me)

a lot of these mightve broke during the 20 years of isolation but post-game bob manages to salvage whatever he can and dust off the little trinketon town and display it again. there were spiders in the larger house pieces that'd broken a bit

#pn2 art book spoilers #art book spoilers #hcs #cospn2 #its like how the topiary aspect never made it to his mind #but he still has a little tree hes pruning as a refrance
