I may not have mentioned this but I'm clearing what used to be Bed 5 where Victoria and Stanley live. 
There used to be an old apple tree in the middle of it, which was cut down some years ago. The stump was covered in ash tree slices. Things have been happening under those slices - a holly and a hazel have grown there and, to my surprise, another apple tree (presumably off the old root).
Today I started to cut down the holly and hazel so that I could remove the ash slices. I've been waiting until the hazel nuts were ripe - so I picked those as I cut the branches off. Its going to be a big job to remove the holly and hazel roots but the old apple tree stump came out like a rotten tooth. Very satisfying.
