Before and after

This morning I had a lovely catch up with my school friends and then got home in time to see the tree surgeons removing 6 overgrown conifers from the bottom of our garden that have been shading out that area for many years.
Our neighbours have some trees on their side of the fence as you can see, but will remove them gradually over the next few weeks. They didn’t want to pay someone to do it for them which I guess is fair enough.
So I now have a huge new bed to design over the next few months, so lots of lovely new plants although I might leave a lot of it until next year.
The roots have all been ground out and the soil turned over and fluffed up but I’m sure it will be sprouting massive amounts of geraniums and weeds as soon as the rain starts again!!!
