I trimmed a branch from the by the house, here. I cut into smaller branches, which ended up piled here. What to do? I decided to get my garden basket and do the work here, instead of moving the pile first. I cut all the branches into two inch pieces using a pair of garden shears. I've been practicing, so I stuck with it until they were all done, and then I did the oleanders, too. By that time I could barely lift my arm, and I had the beginning of a blister. I need better shears, too. Well, mine are OK, I just don't know how to sharpen them. Anyway, you know those exercisers you squeeze to build up hand strength? Can't beat this.
