Autumn clearance

Some more clearing.. It’s that time of the year. And some emergency treatment for an Amelanchier tree which was in danger of being waterlogged. Here’s hoping the emergency treatment was administered in time! An overgrown hydrangea reduced in size but will still have a great show of flowers next year

Autumn tidy up

The summer gardening is coming to an end and now it’s the beginning of tidying and preparing for winter and spring.

Hedges,bushes and more

Planting and things

Creating a new front flower bed for fragrance: roses, Daphne, and gardenias. After watching the Gardener’s World episode aired on Friday 8th October about trees planted a Sorbus splendens after removing a clump of Hellebore dividing it and replanting it. Weeding and tidying a rockery

Some challenging fencing

Almost 2 hours clearing brambles just to be able to get to the fence! Then having to align it with the existing fence which had not been placed according to the boundary lines.

Rose rescue

Had to dig out this old rose for a client.. Want to see if it revives.. Watch this space

Clearance

Bushes and hedges

Big hedges!

Using a long reach hedge trimmer plus extension – – TBH not great for the shoulders and my squash game ! Trigger point therapy needed! Link to book, very useful and interesting! https://g.co/kgs/oGkcky
