If I'm correct this is the very private garden of astonishing beauty

What an amazing achievement it is.




Lovely! I'd settle for those beautiful mossy-headed trees for my
woodland bank. If only I could maintain them like that.

The man across the road has the best kept hedges on the street. His
secret? He uses his hover mower on the tops to tidy them up.

Really? I'd like to see a video of him doing it.


I will keep my camera handy. I meant to video him last year but don't
think I managed it in the end.

Yeah yeah, Sacha. I love wild flowers. I even love a few of *their*
wild flowers. I don't love weeds, mine or theirs. Anyway, Roger's
garden has to satisfy SWMBO, who probably doesn't like weeds and would
probably would rather have something tidy. Sadly wild flowers rarely
do 'tidy' for more than one season. That's because they're *wild* :@)).

Do let me know if you want some "wild flower" seed;~).

Thanks, our own wild flowers are doing just fine. I'm not allowed to let
them flourish though! ;-)


Wild flowers/
Don't you mean "Native Flora"

Of course, I do. Silly moi!



Odd. When I say that, it always comes out "silly moo" ;~)

Yup. That would do it! I don't think my cylinder push mower would do
quite the same job, alas.

It would if you kept your hedge low enough.

But that's not a hedge. It's a green catapillar on roots.
