From left to right: holly, large camellia, smaller camellia. It's the time of the year that I don't look forward too, pruning. We have about 15 camellias on our property but I only prune / cut back about 6 or 7 of them annually. The larger one pictured was getting too tall to care for easily and was brushing up against the house. The smaller hasn't been producing many flowers so I figured a hard prune may help. This is the first time trying this, so I do hope they end up doing ok. We rely on these bushes to keep our living room cool in the summer so this one will be a HOT one.
Pruned back two of our camellias HARD

Good work and all three vehicles look nice in the background!
Haha. Done for today! Three was enough, took about 3 hours. I have 5 more that need attention in addition to the flower bed. Soon enough I’ll be fertilizing the lawn and mowing once a week. I’ll miss winter!Just showed up..nice...
Now get back to work
Thank you! The Accord needs to be washed. A stray cat decided to walk all over it with muddy paws. Maybe tomorrow.

Don't feel bad...I am with you.
Briars and grape vines all along the woods...tired of tearing my legs up when I mow...got about 300 yards worth..
Wow! That is frustrating. Our house sat vacant for 8 years before we moved in, so around the rear properly lines plenty of small oaks have grown up. Not the cleanest looking back yard I suppose but don’t have the money to have someone take them all out, or the time to do it myself. I just mow along the wooded area and hope it doesn’t creep in any further.
