This month the focus in on mowing the ivy. Mowing the ivy will rejuvenate it and should also discourage pests as potential hiding places are disturbed and uncovered. It has the additional benefit of reducing the volume for more efficient sprinkler coverage. Mowing began this week and will continue for the next several weeks. This time of year is best for pruning the ivy since it will grow back faster now then if we did it during the winter.
Pruning of the shrubbery has been started, but has been deferred until after the ivy is mowed since there is a shorter window of opportunity for the best time to prune the ivy.
The working schedule has been impacted by rainy weather causing the crew come on different days rather than their usual Mondays.
If you noticed any areas that need attention, please post as comments to this topic. You can also post any compliments!

Hi Eddy, The blog looks great - so does the ivy mowing :)- Corinna
Hi Eddy,
This looks great. I wish there was something similar for home maintance on these places - I'm dealing with some leaking pipes and I know there has to be someone who has already solved the same thing.
Anyway - critters in the ivy. Is that a rat I see running through my back yard? Are there many?
Just got my Bay friendly garden tour booklet. Inspiration time!
Has there ever been a Brittany Landing Garden Tour?
Thanks Corinna and Judy for the comments!
Judy - a garden tour for Brittany Bay is a great idea. Perhaps we could find out who's interested in letting people tour their garden. Would you be interested in letting people visit your garden.
Eddy
