Desperate Measures
Usually I pull out broom plants of this size but the scope of the problem here is just too much work! Of course most of these one to two year old plants that I have cut will try to regrow, but at least thay mostly will not have enough energy to flower next summer. Here’s hoping anyway. Call it a low-cost experiment. Note also the hedge trimmer is a new-to-me machine and I want to establish appropriate uses for it.
