As long as you stay on top of the pruning hand tools get the job done

Ah, you've hit me with my ADHD kryptonite, remembering to regularly do (and actually completing) normal tasks like that.

I happen to have family members with birthdays in early March and early April, so I just remember to time it between those two dates. Y'know because just going "it's March it's time to cut back the weeds!" Isn't enough

I also do a daily bike ride around sunset, and I try to do a very quick walk around the yard before/after which gives another opportunity to grab thr loppers and chop a couple of things that are growing in a bad spot
