Look at the Laurel, in back\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I didn\u2019t do a \u2018before\u2019 shot, of just the Laurel, pre-prune. But you can see it in right back of the above pic\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m finding it\u2019s getting in the way of finishing the ponds, and maintenance on the green room frame. So it\u2019s getting a drastic haircut. Laurels grow back really fast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearing a view.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s also good, as it provides a change of view for the Spring. Teresa wasn\u2019t happy about it tho\u2019! But the. She almost never is when I do anything I consider improvements! But esp\u2019 so re pruning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stump. Needs tidying up!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What Teresa did<\/em> want me to cut back, was the dead Box hedge. Box Blight has done for my little hedge. So sad! It was just about getting to be big enough to be shaped\/trimmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I still need to dig out the roots, and get rid of them. But after that, what are we going to put in, in place of the dearly departed buxus<\/em>? I want something with small leaves. So laurel is out. Privet, perhaps?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The waste\u2026<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, next thing is, I guess, tidy up what\u2019s left (e.g. a bit more laurel pruning), and get the waste to the dump. That\u2019ll have to wait for tomorrow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found doing this today utterly exhausting. Worryingly so. Hey ho\u2026 let\u2019s hope some time soon this constant exhaustion will pass\/cease?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
