Devil's haircut
Light duties today, trimming a hedge we planted years ago, so that it doesn't overhang a road. We were; Sam, Ptol, Dave, Dan, Peter, Geoff, and myself. A small amount of tidying and guard removal also occurred. Lovely day.

Dead grass, but also unwell plants. Hold on little plants! |
This week we were weeding a previously planted site above Slaithwaite. Most of the plants looked good, but a few had been damaged by some over enthusiastic use of weedkiller.
We were; myself, Philip H., Dianne, Philip B., Dave, Jim, Peter, Geoff, Sam, Ptol and Matthew.
