Before... |
Following a week of the darkest days, the cloud decided to lift a little and, as the day wore on, even the sun showed its face. Chris swapped his usual Saturday so, it was out with the hedge cutters and a plan to give the roses more room. Being a beech hedge, there were leaves EVERYWHERE! Having cut it back, loads of ivy was exposed and digging it all out was not the easiest job in the world. Roses were snagging one side and twiggy hedge the other with no room to move between the two! My thinking is that the roses won't lean away from the hedge for more light and more air circulation should mean less blackspot and other fungal diseases. Well, that's my theory! The hedge look a tad thin at present but it'll green up in the weeks to come.
And......when we'd finished all the clearing up, we were rewarded with a really pretty sunset.
