Hedge Funds

Trimming both sides of 146.3 metres of Laurel Hedge = LOTS OF HARD WORK! So MOTH & I were thrilled when we discovered tucked away amongst all our other lovely Christmas pressies from the little darlings, a Gift Certificate for a full day's Free-of-Charge hedge trimming. So before Son #2 went back to Melbourne & the others were still on vacation, MOTH & I quickly redeemed our voucher & the above pic is the fabulous result.

In desperate need of a 'hedge cut'!

These couple of jokers actually belong to us - I need to remind myself that when scrubbed up they actually look OK.....

While his older brothers play the fool, their baby brother gets on with the job.

And finds MOTH's truck a handy ladder.

Along the 2nd street frontage the Hedge is 92 metres long & our small meadow & the Tennis Court are hidden behind it. The boys did a fab job, as the main object of the day is to be very conservative & take just the right amount of growth off, so it still looks lush & green. They certainly achieved that goal & were rewarded with the appropriate cold refreshments at the end of a long, hot day.
