I have been meaning to take this flax out for ages as it had started to look very messy, I am very excited but the planting opportunities in the empty spot 😍

Over the years several people have questioned why I hadn't done anything to divide the gardens from the drive, I was discussing it with a friend who suggested running another Totora hedge, as soon as she said it seemed so obvious 😆 that is why it is so great discussing ideas with other gardeners 😁
