2025 - What I did today

Just had a session attacking the New Zealand flax which was attempting a garden takeover. It got flattened with the heavy snow earlier in the year and never went back to it's more vertical growth but stayed prostrate gradually encroaching on my path. I tried cutting it with secateurs, hand shears and loppers but had to eventually resort to my electric hedge cutter. Even with this it was a struggle to hack it back, but by that time it was personal, it was either it or me!

Happy to say I got the better of it in the end, even if I was ready for a lie down afterwards!
