Pruned Apple Tree |
Pruning is not
something that comes naturally for me. I
hate to cut off all those nice branches just to send them to the compost
pile. I am learning. I am learning that removing branches from my
apple and peach trees equals more fruit. I am learning that when I cut off the old
wilted rose, new roses will continue to flourish for a longer season. But I feel like such a traitor to that nice
old rose that has lived out its life cycle in peace.
I really am no good
at pruning in any area of my life. It
takes discipline. It takes slowing down
to work through a mental process of why pruning is necessary and how it will be
beneficial in the long-run. You see, for
me, gardening is full of spiritual moments.
