Real Treasure in the Garden

The weather this weekend was fantastic – more like June than March – so we were outside and working hard. Achievements included planting potatoes, potting on various plants, tidying up the fruit canes. I also did half of my least favorite job in the garden and trimmed one of the two 70′ leylandii hedges bordering the garden.

The hedges were planted by the previous owners. Much as I dislike the job, they are nicer than fences, and the birds and bees use them for nests.
