Yesterday Chippers was here and made the downed maple vanish. Some splittable wood was cut and stacked by the garage for me to split. but nothing too gnarly or large. All the smaller branches were chipped and the big parts of the trunk and stump were left on big pruning pile in the woods. I used to burn that pile every year or so when the ground was snow covered, but I have decided to let it all decompose on its own, a greener approach. The pile is so big now that I may have to rethink that plan. Some of the chips went on a wet spot behind the big barn. I still have to regrade around the hole where the stump was.
Otherwise, it’s been more of the same, weeding and pruning.
New blooms: rhododendron, first hosta, tiarella.
June favorite, Peony.
Another June fav, yellow flag iris.
