Last night, whilst most of you were tucked up, warm, in your beds; I was out in the howling wind & lashing rain, to bring you this:
Balanced precarious between a leat and a ditch, planting a woodland edge hedge.
When the lazy farmer repaired his fence, he just left the old one, which must have been some kind of metallic mesh, lying on the ground. It is now tangled with weeds, impenetrable with the spade and only leaves a very thin strip between it and the ditch, into which I can plant things.
What I have planted along here are mostly suckering shrub trees, to include Blackthorns, Spindle, Wild Privet, Dog Roses, Holly and Hazel. This is so Hopefully the trees will be able to spread to the parts I cannot plant, due to the fallen fence.
The caption above shows me disguising some newly planted shrub trees, with some grass.
