Garden Tasks

One of my hellebores has produced a large crop of seedlings. I've popped a few in pots, and if they grow well I can pass them on to other gardeners:

This afternoon I spent a lovely hour or so trimming the crepe myrtles:

There are five of them here, although one is in shadow so hard to see in this photo. They are just about to burst into leaf, so I trimmed out crossing branches, and branches growing into the centres instead of out. It is something I used to do to the crepe myrtles in my old garden every year, but that I haven't done to these ones before.
