It is that time of year.

 Who says that our dog is never at home!

 Winter gives Paul a well earned break from weekly mowing and hedge trimming. Spring is now here and the work begins again. I think at times Paul does wonder about how smart it was to make so much work for himself. These gardens were planted exactly 5 years ago and have done very well. We have had deaths and set backs but nothing terrible. The hedges have grown well, a little too well. So this year we are going hard and taken a lot off the top of some hedges, back to nude tops. It will be interesting to see how long it takes for them to be green again.
