I chopped the rest of the blackcurrant bushes down today,another gloriously sunny day by the way.

As you can tell by the photo now the hard work really stats. The gooseberry bushes are a tangle of brambles and grass. I will attack the bushes first with my very sharp hedge clippers but not before I receive the pair of gauntlets I have ordered. These plus an old pair of thick denims and a pair of goggles will complete the outfit as I join battle with the spiky monsters. The tubs are there to protect the cats until the root killer dries,then it is child and pet safe. You can see my garden helper Zazzles there,on guard duty
