There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?
Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!
Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

We are in zone 3. We usually trim after first frost. How we trim depends a bit on the plant. Eg: roses get cut back to a ball about a foot in diameter (and wrapped -- some go in the garage if in pots); while blackberries get cut down to the ground if they produced this year -- or they get wrapped as they stand are if they didn't (they have a two year cycle, but rabbits fuck with them in winter); we have a decorative tree called a "smoke tree" which we trim back every year so it doesn't grow too large.
