Martin's New Garden

Well, the tree man finally came! It only took him a couple of hours to cut down the trees just above ground level and to clear away all the debris. It's given the garden a lot more light, so I'm looking forward to filling the space now.

I was planning on getting the tree roots out myself, but on second thoughts I've asked a man with a stump grinder to come round and have a look.

   

   

I spent a few hours clearing up today, including removing some smaller stuff with my little battery powered chainsaw. I'm impressed with how well it coped. It handled this stump no problem:

   

I'm keen to get the patch behind the stumps, between the rhododendrons and the greenhouse, cleared this weekend so I can plant some daffodil bulbs. And some more Rhododendrons, maybe!
