The long border

Vanessa has been busy clearing weeds and grass from the long border on the southern boundary up against the old privet hedge. She did a great job on a task that took three or four days in total. Having dug up around the bases of the existing planting which included Laurel, Photinia ‘Red Robin’ and numerous other varieties of shrubs, I edged the border, watered well and laid a thick mulch of mushroom compost we had delivered in a massive bag.

It is amazing how creating definition to the border immediately produces a sense of order while elongating the perspective and line of sight.
