No in-depth gardening information today, just my sincere wish that each of my readers will have a good 2023.

When weather allows, cut back Liriope so that emerging foliage will not mingle with last year’s tattered growth. Now is also a good time to schedule pruning for your hybrid tea roses. DO NOT prune Azaleas or Forsythia now, or you will remove buds. If a shrub blooms in early spring, wait until after flowering is complete before shaping and pruning. Dead or damaged limbs can be removed any time.
