REMOVING LILACS - the First project IN my NEW GARDEN (Part 1)

[@mjmcinnespoems]

That’s a whole lot of hard work you’ve put in! 😮 Blessings 🌱

At first I wasn’t sure but now I think it’s much better. It’s great to have more light. Look forward to the next part!

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

Thank you, I think so too! The next part is in progress :-)

The space looks much better now! I also have two huge bushes of them but I cut them down every year because I love the smell in the spring.

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

Yes, they are lovely for a short period. The rest of the year pretty boring. Now I have more space for something else as well! 😁

[@fittoseejane]

I hope you left a little bit, they are pretty and smell wonderful. But I agree, opening the view up to the trees was a very good idea. It’s nice to have the view with some things close and some far. Good luck on it all.

Thank you! There are many more lilacs. I don’t think these ones would have put out many blooms anyway, since they grew in the shadow.

Yes !! to light in the north and it also keeps the mosquitoes down close to the house . Such a pretty place .

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

Thank you! I´m happy with the result so far. I hope it´ll turn out well in the future!

[@marcellejosephine9119]

Much better!! Hope you’ll remove the trunks. 😊👍🏼

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

Thank you! That's the plan. I need space for nice plants! :-)

[@agnetaahlgren134]

Much better! You always ned light! 👍🌻

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

So true! And I think that you always need a woodland also, so I´m going to plant nice things there when the roots are gone!

[@rodhatte]

Much better. Remember to cut down any new shoots as they come back. - For the rest of the year and all of next year. Otherwise, it will get just as big in no time.

[@myswedishcottagegarden]

Thank you! I will dig up all roots and make a woodland there, that´s my new plan!
