| When we bought our house we had a retaining wall built. |
 |
| All of the ferns you see just came along voluntarily. I think that was very nice of them. |
 |
| And every March I cut the ferns. All of the ferns. |
 |
| All of the way down to the bottom. |
 |
| March is the time to do it so the new little fronds (seen here) have not yet lifted their little heads. Therefore you do not cut off their little heads. |
 |
| One year I waited too long. It took forever to do the job because I had to be so careful not to cut the little fronds. |
 |
| I guess you could just cut off the old ugly leaves and leave the newer ones. |
 |
| But I just love how green and beautiful they look when they all come up |
 |
| new and fresh every year. I also trim all the ferns we have planted and all the ones around the yard that have sprouted up and found a home here. We try to get all the ornamental grasses cut in March, too, but are a little bit behind this year. If we get enough more sunny days we may get it done before April!! Wishing you all a good weekend! And Happy St. Patty's Day! Annette :>) |
