There is so much to do on a farm in winter months! Pruning, clearing, weeding...did I mention pruning? I have pruned so many shrubs, trees and bushes this winter that I need to sharpen my clippers. My place had so many overgrown camellias, branches of trees hanging over the edge of the blueberry field and old canes to remove from the hundreds of blueberries and blackberries. These are really starting to look managed and good. Feb 1, I can start pruninng the muscadines. All grapevines need to be cut back and I discovered that if I take a little extra time to make wreaths out of the vines instead of piling them up to burn, I can add revenue from the waste and refuse. This place just keeps giving back. All it takes is some thought and alot of hard work! Here are a few pictures...
