A practical question Phill, is the hedging miniature privet?

 

Thanks in anticipation.

 

Kindest,

Hi Phill,

 

Thanks-the same as my hedging....although it looked larger leafed in the photo-hence my question.

 

My Box hedging is a little problematic, I may start replacing it with miniature privet, I tried Japanese holly but that didnt do well in clay soil. Baggins' gold grows anywhere so it seems! Mine is going mad at times, even in my neighbours 'nature garden', no clue how it got there!

 

Thanks again.

 

Kindest,

I admire your hedging around your line Phil.

I guess a hedge trimmer and blower are essential scenery tools for your layout.

 

I have put off doing similar as I am bit worried about creating a snake haven, haven't come up with a better solution yet that doesn't involve laying lots of bricks

:>)

cheers

Snake haven?! WTH?!

 

I hate snakes, even those that shed no skin (LMAO!), and even though I have handled them in the past an unpleasant experience with a small viper put me off of 'em when younger!

Sad to see these four get transferred away from the Western Region where they have done sterling service & been regulars on the Withercombe branch. They are now on their way to the Scottish Region & I hope their new owner enjoys them as much as i have 1f642.png  post-6992-0-64826500-1510938368_thumb.jpg
