First assault on jaggy corner

It would seem that we have had the first day of spring and certainly there hasn't been any snow now for a few days. It is possible to stand around outside with minimal protective clothing and it is light enough to walk without a torch. Time, therefore, to get busy again in the garden.

Here is the before picture. This is prior to our planned assault on the productive but dangerous "Jaggy Corner" of the garden. This is the area where brambles, broken glass, and the remains of a greenhouse make life difficult. This is an area for gloves and elastoplasts. However this area does produce the best fruit (brambles) and gives the most jam.

The task on clearing this space was helped by our robin who kept us company for most of the task. He is probably about a friendly as the cat now. Certainly he will stay in the same vicinity to the same degree as the cat.


After much digging, much earth moving, much bending of iron pol;es and clearing of wood it was clear that we were making very little difference to the area. It gives one faith that after all this effort we were unable to make any great impact onto nature's plan. Hopefulyl human endeavours on the global scale will have as little effect.


To prove that there had been little effect, and to really appreciate the minimal impact of three hours of dangerous and back straining labour, here is the after picture.
