Bit of #HedgePorn ; our “Mullet”* #hedges on the drive. Cut each year on the drive, so “neat” (don’t look too hard) and really thick & dense (warm) but the back is only lightly cut every 3-5 years or so. Very old #Oaks line the drive and we have #trees , shrubs, dog roses growing.

Hawthorn #HedgePorn . When was the last year that was as brilliant for first of all the #Spring / early Summer #blossom AND now #Autumn berries & fruit?

#HedgePorn : so thick and covered in #Blackberries (has there been a better year for #Brambles ?), rose-hips and haws.
#Birds and #Hares all along in the early morning light.

This patch, beside a high thick #hedge should continue to support #wildlife through to next Spring with cover feed & seed.
