The Wheelie Wonderful Wheelbarrows of Barrow…
Well the clearance work is well under way at Stewart Towers, the lawn weed which reported in my earlier post has been felled and with a few enjoyable winters day bonfires has been disposed of, the shed has had new roof timbers and has been re-felted. Todays job has been to begin the clearing of the borders and the cutting back of overgrown and neglected fruit trees and shrubs.
A minarette plum as reached 15 foot and has now been reduced to 7 foot with some judicious pruning.
Growing through all of the fruit trees were some of the largest brambles that I have seem, the longest one when teased outmeasured 36 feet long with enough laterals to make it over 100 foot of growth.
Needless to say I am looking forward to seeing it gobbled up by the shredder.
I am taking photographs of the reclamation project for my gardening talk, My Garden, or the 18 year makeover
