The pruning continues

The roses had sustained a lot of frost damage so I had to cut the two small bushes almost to the ground, luckily the New Dawn was mainly OK so regular pruning was enough for that one.

The Sargent’s apples (Malus sargentii) I have growing as a hedge got all the branch ends pruned to trigger more vigorous growth and more branching, I think they’ll have grown together in a whole when this season’s done.
The other apple trees got cut as needed for their various intended forms, two as regular dwarf trees, four as various espalier forms.

The tomatoes are still doing well in the greenhouse, though they haven’t started growing much yet.

The garlic I set has started sprouting like mad, while the red onions are still sleeping.
