    Working is messing up my flylady thread reading no end...

    ssl - there's nothing I like better than someone getting a new garden! I love talking over possibilities! I would avoid Leyland cypress, which is what you may be thinking of for hedging. It grows a metre a year, which is great until it's tall enough and then you realise it carries on growing at that rate forever, and will cost you a fortune to keep trimmed. It will overshadow your garden, and the roots take all the moisture so you won't be able to grow anything near it, not even grass. My neighbour had planted them 18 years ago, and I hated them. Happily, the new neighbour hated them too, and had them removed, at quite some expense. Can I suggest getting hold of Alan Titchmarsh's two books How to be a Gardener? The first one is on growing stuff, and the second on designing your own garden. They're excellent, and if you can track donw the videos (try the library), they are great.

    Serena - that is sooooo spooky! I bought the Complete How to be a Gardener ages ago and just found it again today. I was having a read before I caught up on this thread! I think the Leyland cypress is what my mum and aunt were talking about. In fact, my current neighbours have just removed something that looks very similiar and I was going to recycle them :rotfl: Hmmm, I'll see what Alan Titchmarsh says ;) Thank you for that :D
