Thanks for the info! Itching to get garden in because last year I didn't get started till July. Got a lot of cucumbers and some peppers but nothing else ripened in time. Sugar baby watermelon got to softball size before the freeze but that was it.

The first shrub has some very tiny thorns. So verdict is: 1. golden barbarry 2. spirea, white variety 3. Kerria or possibly deutzia Trimming requirements would be the same for all varieties of spirea correct? I don't necessarily care if I cut off this/next year's flowers. I just want to get in...

I just bought a house and I need to figure out what is already planted. All the landscaping is very overgrow and needs trimmed. Does anyone have a good plant ID site to recommend? I tried the NGA and several sites without much luck. Shrub 1 very overgrown, no flowers right now Shrub 2...
