Pruning Elderberries, Seed Starting & Using Cold Frames (Gardening in April)

If you're growing elderberries, it's important to know how to prune elderberry bushes for maximum growth. In today's video, I'm showing you how to do light and hard pruning as well as how to transplant and keep elderberry off-shoots from taking over an area.

I'm also sharing my newest favorite seed-starting tool, as well as how I'm using cold-frames in the garden to get a jump-start on the growing season.
