It's October Already

Hard to believe, but true. So let's celebrate with a couple of hedge trimming photos! I got the section on the northwest side of the yard completed recently. Here's a view of it from outside the yard.

I'm standing among the vines to take this picture.

And below is the view from inside the yard. You may recognize the apple pile from yesterday's post. It doesn't look it, but these hedges are between seven and eight feet tall. There's still the longest section to do. It wraps around the southwest corner of the yard (where the laurier sauce is) and runs along the road up to our driveway.

The inside end of the hedge is full of blackberry vines. Ouch!

The good news is that I've already trimmed the vertical surface and top on the yard-side. Now it's just the outside that's left. I'm still waiting to see if the town is going to fill in our ditch before I get started on the outside. We'll see.

The inside of the road-side hedge is done.
