This one in itself is serious.<br />A well kept jungle perhaps but still the wild look is good.<br />A few years ago we'd not have had to get anyone in but Phil is beyond doing these things now and there's the removal of the debris as well. We don't have a trailer hitch on this car so can't take stuff to the tip. We don't spend much on ourselves and like to keep things in check as far as trees go. The neighbours have never said anything but I don't think it right limbs should hang over their fences. We can make mistakes at times with what we choose to plant and sometimes can also be given false information.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-38962057626667518132017-01-18T19:09:04.341+08:002017-01-18T19:09:04.341+08:00Thanks for thoughts re K.

Unfortunately I feel surgery will have to be the answer but we will know the answer next week.<br />I agree about gardens being made to look almost artificial with too much pruning. I'm too much of a lover of all things green and love them in their natural state.<br />Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-70985684087022605852017-01-18T19:07:20.662+08:002017-01-18T19:07:20.662+08:00Some garden disaster are long remembered and thank...Some garden disaster are long remembered and thank you for the kind thoughts re my girl.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-7828951697796075672017-01-17T15:38:56.117+08:002017-01-17T15:38:56.117+08:00I also hope that K is okay, perhaps her problem is...I also hope that K is okay, perhaps her problem is in early stages and can be managed or turned around.<br />I like a bit of a jungle look too, but not wildly tangled so you can't walk through it.<br />Many trees here are also dropping leaves like it was autumn. The footpaths under some of them are covered.<br />I wish I had a tree man I could call on (and afford), some of the things I planted in my daughter's yard when I still lived there have grown far beyond expectations and one in particular is covered in tiny white hay-fever-headache inducing flowers twice a year. At the time I thought it 'might' reach a metre in height and be manageable, now it towers as high as the roof :(Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-13482387790025340952017-01-17T06:05:14.684+08:002017-01-17T06:05:14.684+08:00I hope that K is ok, and can avoid surgery if at a...I hope that K is ok, and can avoid surgery if at all possible. Send her my best wishes please.<br />I agree with you about gardens. Tidy is not the look I like most in a garden. Himself's father used a ruler when he was pruning and I always thought it looked unnatural.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-75862893538306248152017-01-17T04:57:22.721+08:002017-01-17T04:57:22.721+08:00After the fiasco with my scuppernong vines, I am l...After the fiasco with my scuppernong vines, I am leery about who cuts what outside.<br />Best thoughts for your daughter.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02743921972328074980noreply@blogger.com
