pruning...


Late winter 
and I'm very late to get started with pruning in the orchard
my stone fruits are in blossom already... 

  
blood plum


 
  
Boots takes the high ground as our pruning overlord
'meow - you missed that one'



 Abas apple before


30 mins and a lot of lopping later....


 Abas apple after


Oh how I wish I could take a big pair of loppers,
some secateurs and a pruning saw to all those things
that seem to clutter up my life...


sigh
