Well hell if we might not get an extra month this year! May 1st green last year. Seems we'll have green this year before March is out!

Been leaving this to grow roots, not pruning much during the season.

Trying to bring the balance back now.

This one took a worse squirreling.

This low left branch was knocked near bare, so rebalancing is such a great setback, that I can't even cut off everything from higher up, so my "size flipping" power is down from 100% to 80%.

It could use a repositioning....but that mud is heavy, and my "new wagon" needs some "new parts"!

Great work Sorceman!
I'd like to chime in on the lunar thing that seems to get everyone's panties in a wad.
Everything that lives and breathes does so in one of two phases. Either waking or sleeping. On a daily basis there is the day, the waking phase and night, the sleeping phase. In our daily lives every hour is laid out. Up at six, coffee and breakfast off to work by nine lunch at noon home by five diner at six off to bed by nine. Day after day it's cyclic and the cycle translates into weeks, months and years.
In the lunar cycle the waxing phase is the day, or the waking phase and the waning phase is the night. The full moon is twelve o'clock noon.
On the yearly cycle spring and summer is the day and fall and winter are the night.
We have our yearly cycle pretty well mapped out. We know by this when to dig, when to repot and do our pruning and trim.
On a daily basis we know not to set out garden plants or do transplants in the morning or they get fried by the noontime sun. Waiting until the sun passes its zenith and the day is winding down, ie the less stressful time of the day, and followed by a sleep period is simple logic.
If you can think of the lunar cycle in terms of a day, two weeks long and a night, two weeks long and apply the same logic as you do for the daily and yearly cycles it's really very simple and logical.

And the Blue Moon is just there to make the calculations a little more difficult to explain.
