"Oh don't let him......

.....cut this bit Mum!"

The-boy-in-the-attic did a grand job with the little front garden hedge yesterday, much to the senior cats disgust.....the junior pair weren't too impressed seeing their favourite bird hide disappear either. The big front garden is a bit more of a challenge though......especially with a defending feline army in occupation......

EDIT: Any suggestions for groundcover plants that would grow in almost permanent shade under a privet hedge blippers?
