That was very informative about pruning the overgrown bushes and helping to keep them healthy and lush. Thank you, Olga!

I love pruning! You're right; it's immediate gratification. Kind of like weeding. Your barberry and boxwood hedge look great!

[@dianachavez6232]

Thank you for your wise knowledge. I have some young boxwood and I’ve always been reluctant to trim them. I will give them a good trim next year in the spring. I love your content. Please keep posting. Diana in zone 6 in northern New Mexico !

Hi Olga, I planted a cotoneaster hedge from seedlings last year. When should I start trimming them? They're only about 12-18" tall at this point. Thank you

Here I found a good answer to your question. It was asked originally at the beginning of April though.

Hello , Olga I am in CT. too . Love watching your videos about rose . I have 17 of them and always worried so much not to kill them. So far I loss one this year she was a couple of years old, in the beginning I saw some shuts and two weeks later they were dead . 💀 . I think I might of given it too much fertilizer and it was one of my favorite.TY.

We all overloved our plants at some point of our gardening time.

I have green velvet boxwood and I think I got leaf miner form the mulch I bought form a garden center. I have them for about 30 years and this is the first time I’ve experienced this. I sprayed it with meen oil and a drop of liquid detergent. I decided to trim the back , they may not.look good it’s year , but it was better than losing them /
