are going correctly, it can be painful.
When you're trimming canes, it's important to keep your fingers out of
the path of the secateurs. Sounds intuitive, but it's easier said
than done. Once you've wrapped a vine, hold onto it tightly so it
doesn't spring back and hit you in the face (I wear glasses to work
every day now!). Oh, and even if you're careful about that, it might
break at the end and hit you in the face anyway as it uncurls.
I have blisters, blood blisters, cuts, scrapes, splinters, and I'm
building up a rather comical Popeye-eque muscle between by thumb and
forefinger on my right hand from squeezing the secateurs open and
closed about 20,000x/day (I was bored one day and decided to figure it
out…). Despite frequent spf 40 sunblock applications, the half of my
face that faces the sun has a ski-bunny tan, white where it's covered
by my fleece headband and glasses, and dark everywhere else.
