He has cut down my tree, like we wanted him to

 

 

I'm left with all this Saturday morning

 

 

 

After a couple of hours work stripping off the little branches I'm left with a big pile of wood for my dad to use on his fire ( out of shot in front of the gate), a sore hand from using the secators & a tidy garden.

 

 

 

I'm about half-way through.

Ooh I love pruning too - its one of my favorite jobs in the garden

[Egluntyne]

I did a load of lopping yesterday too. Very satisfying.

What have I done ? There will be bare gardens up and down the country .

 

Looks really good though - what a beautiful and neat garden you have (you're not seeing photos of mine at the moment ).

[Falkor]

I too took up the saw on Saturday aftr being inspired by ANH!

 

I got a great work out and have more room for WIR!

 

Jules - what a lovely neat garden!

Oh dear, I seem to have created a monster (or two) .

nor mine. I've spent the weekend battling with a renegade bramble bush - called Himalyan - and I feel as if I climbed a mountain or two! It was planted by an elderly neighbour 50 years ago and has been spread by birds - everywhere. It now terrorises gardens left, right and centre. The blackberries may be wonderful but the thorns ain't. I have scratches, splinters and ache all over.

 

However, three little bantams have had a wonderful time. They moved in after me, hoovering up the insects, and loosening the soil as I macheted my way through - I think they earned their treats tonight! Especially as I'm clearing ground for a WIR and another eglu.. A real chicken workforce.

[Snowy]

Jules that looks great! I hope you are saving some of those lovely branches to be used as perches?
