Tidy again :)
Each year, usually in August, I have the big hedge at the bottom of my garden trimmed, to keep it neat looking right through the winter. It keeps it shape until about June, when it then begins to sprout. I have worked out, if I have it cut in June, I need it doing again in September.... so to save me money - I have it cut in mid to late August, and then it only needs doing once!
The same family have been doing it for 20 years. Young Robert was only 12 when he first came to help his dad. Robert senior now stands at the bottom of the ladder, whilst Robert junior does the hard work!
PS - the apple tree is about 7 foot, so you can see the height of the hedge!
