Hedge trimming

Mr Kathy trimming hedges with a massive cutting blade, it was purchased for our last house which had a 7ft yew hedge. It's looking pretty good now, I'll get photos from the bedroom window. This one was taken from the kitchen window so a bit of an awkward angle. The tree at the top centre is a plum, full of fruit. Very Happy

Your garden is amazing Kathy - truly gorgeous.

We  had a 'new' neighbour move in a few months ago.  The owners couldn't sell the bungalow - they were asking too much for it, they inherited it.

Yesterday morning whilst I was out at college, and Pat was waiting in for an assessor, he heard lots of noise - and the cheeky so and so, who is only renting, was chopping down our mixed hedge with his electric saw!

To add insult to injury, the hedge is not a high hedge, and we have it cut by hand every year as it is a mixture of shrubs some of which don't like being  cut with an electric hedge trimmer.

And - to make matters even cheekier - the little blighter came around our side and cut that too - and made a heck of a mess on my flower garden - which he walked on!    He cleared up most of the hedge trimmings.   The chap didn't even have the courtesy to knock on our door to ask permission.  

It I didn't have bigger things to 'mither' about - and if I had been in too of course - I might have gone out and had a word!   If he felt the need to do some hedge trimming - he could do the conifer hedge at the back - now that does like a number '4' trim.    Laughing  Laughing  Laughing
