Green

Our hornbeam hedge is becoming green again :)

Trimming

 Our hedge was in desperate need of a trimming.

I started this job just using my secateurs and some twine a few days ago.

This is how it looks now.

The job isn't finished yet but it looks better already.

Wonderful (Green) World

Our world turned green!

Last week we had a lot of rain and it was good for all plants and trees.

Saturday the temperature was really nice so at last I could go outside without a coat.

Little sunshine but perfect weather for doing some gardening.

This weekend I was too busy for gardening but this morning that's the first thing to do.

Here you can see our Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus) hedge we planted.
We started planting in dec 2009 and due to the frost we didn't finish until april 2010.

We choose this species because it's much more tolerant to wet conditions then Beech (Fagus sylvatica).

Now we have just one more hedge to plant.
We wil be planting 25 mtrs of Hornbeam again.
 This job is scheduled for october-november and hopefully in another 2 years
we will have, due to the hedges, much more privacy in our backgarden.
