North Front Pruning Work.

 This week we have been busy doing some work on the North Front. We spent two days cutting back a rambling rose and some Holly trees, all of which have grown out of control. The main reason for the pruning was so that repair work can be carried out to the wall at the back of the border as it's in danger of falling down. It's proved to be quite a job and even though I knew it wouldn't be easy it was more of a job than I thought. Anyway that is all done and the rubbish disposed of.

Today I managed to get the roses in the North Front rose border pruned and the rubbish carted off before the rain started which is another good job taken care off. I would like to get the soil forked over some time too but I think things are going to get a bit wet over the next few days.

This is another little job I want to get done while in the area. There is a little path that squeezes down the side of the rose border but it has become over grown with this shrub so it too is getting a trim.
