More gardening

Andrea and his crew came again. They trimmed the overgrown laurel between us and our neighbours Francesco and Mariagrazia.

It leaves that border a bit lacking in privacy, but we can attach green netting (very common out here) to the chain link fence and the laurel will fill back out in no time.

They also cut the dying fig tree back to a stump – leaving enough for us to continue tying the washing line to it.

The laurel hedge above the pool area is now under control.

Last but not least, most of the tangle of metal fencing and ivy around and over the hen house and rabbit hutch has been cleared.

Looks like they could be quite attractive if we remove the concrete to reveal the bricks behind and replace the rotting doors. A bit low for use as sheds, but you never know we may choose to keep chickens if we move here permanently.
