Yesterday's me got productive & tried to do me in. There are 3 winter bushes along the front porch. They're evergreen & have red berries during the Winter. I don't trim these when I prune the other shrubs. Birds, squirrels & other things hide in them & eat the berries during the cold months. I trim these bushes in early Spring, so they have half a year to come back.
They didn't grow well last year, nothing did around here. They were sparse & spindly. What leaves & berries were on them got taken out by ravenous little beasties & that last cold snap froze some the smaller branches off. They needed clipped & I did it.
It was done fairly easily. The clippings from all 3 bushes were less than I'd normally get from 1. I got them cut & the branches moved to the curb. Then it began.
My body has been in revolt ever since. My allergies went ballistic. My arms were shaky for hours. I'm sore & my breathing is still a little off from all the debris. I'll get over this. Yesterday's, proactive me should've come with a warning for the me today.
Cya...
