Hedge growing

In the winter we planted up 200 metres of hedging using mainly blackthorn, rowan and wild rose. I'm pleased to report that the whips we planted have survived and indeed are growing well. It will be at least a couple of years yet before they are noticeable but hopefully we are on our way to having a new hedge down the eastern side of the smallholding. There will be gaps in the hedge which we will fill with soft fruit bushes, especially gooseberry.
