Last chance to trim your hedges
Isn’t there a great stretch in the evenings?… and the morning are beginning to get brighter and birds are starting to sing… All this is a reminder that if you’re planning to cut your hedges you must be finished by the last day in February at the very latest. Remember – never trim hedges from March to September when the birds are mating and nesting in the hedges.
