Unfortunately, I'd let my bush get into a pretty sorry state, which I put down to a change to darker and damper conditions: there was a lot of scraggly growth and several creepers in spite of (or perhaps because of) a mulchy base. Armed with some sturdy gloves and a sharp implement or two, I set about it and was busy for most of the morning. It's now about half the size and I have braced the erection with some twine. Hopefully, a sturdy spurt of growth throughout the spring will see it really open up; failing that I will get some professionals in to give it a good seeing to.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Think he was drinking as he gardened.. tbf, that is the only way to garden!

Fucking horrible, can’t fathom how anyone derives pleasure from it.

I derive pleasure from the result of gardening.

With you on that. I trimmed my bush right back to the shaft and the view couldn’t have made me happier.
