They are umbrella crepe myrtles and pruning them actually makes them grow taller and helps to keep their shape. They are prettier every year. I prune them right at the base of the limb. Over time you can see knots will form where I've prunned. Next year I will have to get my husband to use his prunning saw and cut them just below the knot. These are about 12 years old. I have 5 daffodils open today!

I planted my first ones two years ago, but I've not done anything to them since, maybe I should?? <br /><br />I noticed this past weekend (warm here too) that a few of my daffodils are up on the west side of the house. I haven't seen any crocus' popping up though, I wonder if the squirrels got them!! <br /><br />I hope you have a great week~<br />PattiPatticakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670340581739788760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5915657464068097192.post-19780738167861623392011-02-21T17:23:01.114-05:002011-02-21T17:23:01.114-05:00Yum, thanks for sharing your recipes.
