Four of them have not managed to flower yet, so I may still have a few surprises in store. The Griselinia and Escallonia hedges have recovered so fast from the frost that they now require their second trim of the season. Apart from cutting grass this is the task that I hate most in the garden, as it takes longer to clean up the mess created in the process than it does to cut the hedge. I am seriously considering spraying both hedges with growth retardant, in an effort to avoid this laborious work. I am of the opinion that if any part of gardening becomes unpleasant, then steps should taken to avoid having to perform that particular Task.
Gardening is supposed to be enjoyable, and when it ceases to be so, then one soon loses interest.
