Julia Childs, You Look Shameless

Morning came with a difficult task at hand, the pruning of Julia Childs Florabunda I and II.  I could hardly say good morning.  They are prickly little devils.  I wore my gloves, not the cute vintage lime green ones but the heavy duty garden variety.  

Sadly my patio gate and both Julias look less glorious this morning.  Hopefully the pruning will encourage more beautiful butter yellow flowers.

The up side is I am now enjoying the flowers inside today.

They look and smell divine.  Just hope my pruning technique worked.
