It was a lovely sunny morning,the perfect weather for finishing off the killing of the gooseberry bushes. I donned my armour and after a careful check for signs of Hedgy started on the remaining two bushes.With a break in between I managed to clear them.
I raked up all the debris and then checked around the side of the house for any signs of Hedgy's new abode. I think I have found it,there appears to be a tunnel leading along the big mound of soil to the corner of the house and very faint signs of a track. If he is in there it's a perfect place to build for winter.It is on the lee side of the house between the gable end wall and the perimeter wall,perfect.
Satisfied with my find I applied the root killer to the gooseberry stumps and covered the lot until it dried to stop the cats and wild creatures coming to any harm.Tomorrow if the weather is fit I will try to get a cut on the back and front grass and strim round the areas where the bushes were. That will be another job done for winter.
Time for dinner I am ready for it
