Giving topiary a try with the help of the Sun and my Son,

Wow that looks so good. We had a better Sunday than expected and I too got work done, even so got wet in a shower but stuck it out there in the garden - soaked to the skin when I came in. lol. but happy to have done some work at last in the garden. :O)

thats much better stroller, gives it definition now, I love the pot its in as well, You have reminded me, my box balls need trimming when it brightens up! when :)

That look really good now.

It has made a difference Stroller, its definitely gardening in short bursts, I think everybody is grabbing any dry spells to at least get a little something done outside, also helps our moods as well...

Well done for being brave Stroller, it looks so much better. Nice to see the stems & am loving the pot too :-)

It looks really good like that :o)

Thanks for all you comments, like you have all said its gardening in short bursts weather permitting.

A good job well done, You might get addicted to topairy now like me lots of Round Balls and Cone shapes in my garde just can't resist trimming everything lol

Its really good Stroller what did you use to trim it with?

Great haricut!!!!!!!!

What a great job! I tried to do a box spiral last year - what a disaster!!!! I'm pleased to say though that it has put on plenty growth and now looks almost like it did before I started :))

That looks so much better! I've got several that are crying out for a similar haircut but I didn't quite know where to start lol... I feel better about tackling them now :o)

That's lovely. I've got a few of these and I clip them into round shapes. They look nice, and they stay attractive all year round :o)

well done it looks really good.Wish i had the patience to give something like that a go:)))))

Lol.Carole yes I can see I shall end up with one or two more, got my eye on a Euonymus that looks just right for having a go at.
Pam ... I just used a pair of shears.
Scottish .... not adventurous for spirals yet but who knows.
Geranium ... go on be a devil as Scottish says it will grow back if it doesn`t look good.
Hywel have you tried other shapes, or are you like me just sticking to the basics.
Mark61 ... bet you would have if you tried.

I made a start on the easiest one today Stroller - it doesn't look too bad for a first attempt, though it still looks more like a 'blob' than a 'ball' at the moment, lol! Hopefully I'll get better with more practice ;o)

Good for you Geranium, we`ll get better at it as we go along then.

Eh up Phyl \0/ Great job, I'm still trying to catch up on blogs, not been on too much lately, but hopefully back on track. The weather is going to improve too as the jet stream goes back where it belongs, well so I heard on the radio:-))
