Trachycarpus fortunei - tidy up

 

So today's task was to tidy up these two Trachycarpus fortunei . Lop off a couple of the most wind battered leaves to give more light to the Irises and weed out the bed below it because this is where I am going to plant even more Dahlias .

                I had to pull off all this Ivy ! Actually quite a therapeutic job .

                                 Make it look like this fluffy gorgeousness 💚

     Then ..groan..do the other one  .

Lop off the worst of the wind battered leaves ...being careful not to over do it  .

......and I think they look nice in my fern garden . What do you think ?

You see I didn't want to over do it especially as we noticed this dinosaur chick was just on the verge of fledging from it's nest .

                                                aaw   🧡🦖

                            So that's all I'm doing today . We're off on a picnic !

                          Not a bad job done if I do say so myself !  

The second one didn't take to long to do but I ran out of energy at that point and will dig the Dahlia bed over tomorrow . 

Funny how I hadn't noticed the Ivy as it crept in and smothered those two trunks  .

O.k. we're off for our picnic ! I'll probably fall asleep in the car I'm so tired .
