Heidi’s Allotment

'Ouch!'...poke my eye and trim those hedges
It was a wonderful sunny day for doing some gardening and trimming the hedges. I decided to get stuck in doing the hedges, despite the spiky thorns from the Hawthorn pricking through the ‘thornproof’ gloves, I manage to get most of the branches trimmed.





Heidi then used the big branches to weave in between the existing Hawthorn trees to make it more of a hedge. She decided not to trim two of the remaining trees in order to provide shelter and perches for the birds that come into her garden.

She then prepared one of her vegetable beds by forking it [no rude comments please! :-) ], here’s the picture of the beds that’s been worked on.

Finally we put a carpet over a weedy area (as seen in the picture on the top left next to the dry stone wall below).
