As requested:

All the hedges we laid and saplings we planted back in March have done really well - and we are off to an Anglo-French event on Sunday to show people about hedgelaying and why it is so good for hedges. Could be a good test for our french

It does look good. That's a fair crop of maize on the other side. Is it yours?

Not my maize - the farmers round here grow it to make silage for their cattle. It makes my small sweetcorn plants seem very pathetic. The dogs love it too - it makes a great place to run and hide for hours on end . And I shall be there after harvest time gathering up the dropped cobs to feed to my chooks.

Absolutely lovely! Someone has had a go at doing it on our property at some point and the results are pathetic. Would love to do it myself sometime and if I did - I would want it to look like yours! Good on ya!

Well we are running another hedgelaying course in late winter if you fancy a trip over to France (Dover-Boulogne Speed ferries and 4 hours of very empty french roads and you're here or various English ports into Le Havre or Caen, 1.5 or 1hr to us )
