DH hired what is technically known as a bushwhacker. It's huge. It's taller than I am when it's upright and DH had to wear a harness to hold it properly, like the heavy machine guns in Aliens. I feel that it may have been a little excessive for my little garden.
Before.

There's a load more to do, but at least we made a start and DH had fun with the strimmer. I'm planning on doing a tiny bit each day and seeing how it goes.
I'm grateful for lavender oil because it works wonders on scratches and stings. The brambles and the nettles fought back vigorously and even though I wore gloves, I have a few war wounds to show for the struggle. DH wore gloves to load up the car to take the weeds to the tip and was glad of them. I spent most of the day involved in writing stuff. I'll catch up with that tomorrow.
Hugs and good health to all.
Your DH did a good job! You have a lovely little garden space there, and it looks like there might be some paving stones? I'm excited to see what you might do in that space.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass on your compliment and I agree. I can't wait to see what I do either - I have no idea!
DeleteOh wow what a difference!
ReplyDeleteI know! DH did good!
DeleteStrimming is such fun and it's easy to get carried away. Some modern gardening equipment is really fearsome these days.
ReplyDeleteWe rented it from a lovely place and they included hard hat with visor, ear protectors, and a hi-vis vest. I think DH would have done more if he had the chance.
DeleteI do love a proper big tool. 😀
ReplyDeleteIt was a mighty tool indeed!
