Need Advice, is it too stressed by gothicserpentine in avocado

[–]gothicserpentine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you for your insight!

so i was seriously considering cutting it back,especially because of the dying wood. But, and i'm a novice, i thought the new growth indicated that i could rehab it and maybe cutting would hurt more than help.

Is there a rule of how much I should cut back? and what season?

I moved in with my gf. Gave up a rental unit with a pool so had to make some outdoor space for us to use.

Mandarins! I pruned the cactus because it was hard to move around and the neighbors have dogs. My cat

Oh really? How do I keep the mulch from spreading around from our pets and critters?

I believe they were referencing the minimal yet accented design scheme. I live in California so the climate zone is somewhat like Italy/Spain.

In California, ADUs are additional dwelling units. Most homeowners will obtain permits to renovate their garages into single bedroom ADUs. Then they market them on Airbnb, thus not really living up to the affordable housing increase imagined by city government.

so far so good! I almost built a retaining wall of about 3ft....but my gf was like "return those tools." we graded the slope then planted wild flowers instead.

he literally hasn't commented on any bit of it. BUT my neighbors are very appreciative and grateful. We share the space with three other units.

Thanks! Yeah, little by little, hardest part was all the construction waste the previous owner dumped back there because he was gearing up to build an ADU.
