Post #5, I,m sure is correct.
any way, in my next life I don't know about being a bee. to scary for the ladies.
I'm sure they would rather have something furry and snuggly tucked up in there...............hmmmm the mind wonders.
I'll get back to you.
grass grows by the inches but dies by the feet.

There is a very simple answer - go and cut them back yourself if they're bothering you.

For some, a good answer - for others, more of a life-threatening risk.
Love the Hollings-Bee!!

I`m very surprised nobody`s mentioned this one yet. It`s been like it since last year, and as well as having to duck underneath it or walk out into the road to avoid it, it does block the view of the road somewhat especially with the way some motorists speed along there. RON, are you of Dover town origin?
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

Did you do this is about the Yews hedges.
Yews are the Queen of hedges, cuting the wind,sheltering the plants,and forming a marvellous backdrop to all the planting.
Yews need clipping only once a year, preferably in August at the end of its growing season.Although yew foliage is poisonous to horses and cattle,the clippings can be sold and processed to make Taxol,a drug used in the treatment of cancer.
So there you have it.

As I said they are done only once ayear at the right cuting time and that is about now,and if you cut them at the wrong tuime you could even kill them or stop them growing and they die off.
