I'm planning to do some gardening this weekend. What are the best tools to use for pruning and trimming?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
For pruning and trimming, you'll need a good pair of pruning shears, loppers for thicker branches, and a hedge trimmer for shaping hedges.<|im_end|>

What's the difference between pruning and trimming?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Pruning involves cutting or removing specific branches to promote healthy growth, while trimming is more about maintaining shape and appearance.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. What's the best time of day to do my pruning and trimming?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
It's best to prune and trim in the morning, when the plants are at their highest water content, making the cuts heal faster.<|im_end|>
