Maintenance

This is my new hedgerow. As you can see it is cunningly disguised as a thin strip of grass so the big maintenance task for the next few days is to cut all the grass out from between the "whips".

I found out I should have double dug the area before planting out the whips. In lieu of that I'll have to wait for a calm day and spot spray some weed-killer between them.

In the pub, in the evening, Hobo mentioned that my neighbour approved of my strimming of the orchard area by the phrase of "Jó munka" or 'good work', which, considering how hard they work in the village is high praise indeed! ( With the caveat that I'm not fluent so he could have said the opposite.)
