Having lunch at the local today, we looked at a hedge planted against the

Sacha, we had a gardener trim ours in June, it is a day's work. He is
coming back to do it again next week, I have never seen growth as fast
as this year. Usually it is only cut once a year in July but because
of all the rain we brought it forward to June, we shouldn't have
bothered and I would think at this rate it will need to be cut again
before the Winter, fortunately that will be the new owners' problem!
