Hi think I've got the hang of this now. Thought I posted this before
- apologies if it appears twice. I'd like to introduce myself - I'm
Jo and I've been reading through the postings - you seem like the sort
of friendly group that will suffer a newbie (new to e-groups and to
gardening).

Hubby and I moved into a new house last year with a biggish garden
with lots of shrubs and about 8 trees. We've tried to identify them
but keep coming across dire warnings that some shrubs should not be
pruned. Consequently we didn't touch anything last year and its all
looking a bit wild and woolly now.

Does anyone have any good advice on good information sources or words
of wisdom about what to and what not to cut?

Cheers for now.

Newbie Jo
