Finally Getting Outside

A nice sheaf of sticks for natural stakes in the garden


Yesterday, a nice sunny almost 50 degrees, perfect for pruning. 
Each February I coppice http://www.coppice.co.uk  
Eight crape myrtles that are planted close together as for a hedge.
They yield these lovely straight stakes for the garden. 
Some are 6 feet tall giving an idea of how good the growing season was last year. One thing to be careful of is, if left too long in the ground, they might root themselves!
