Waitangi Day here in NZ so I have the day off work.

It is fine again so have washing on the line & decided to pull a few weeds from the stone mulch under the line...

well several hours later & I have filled the big green wheelie bin & am shattered.

Mum gave me her electric hedge clippers.
I have been trimming some over grown bushes.

They are looking a little bit scraggy now so hopefully they will recover - I know the Mexican orange blossom will as I have reduced it to a stump once before & it loved it.

pic 2 - - back in 2008 - I was a little over enthusiastic when I pruned....
pic 1 - remarkable powers of recovery, same shrub a few days ago
pic 3 - today
pic 4 - before
pic 5 - after :)

edited because DG changed the order of pic 1 & 2 when I hit send.
