Alex started pruning earlier this week. I had to clean up the driveway first, as everything is growing already, especially the mombretia, and we didn't have a chance to do autumn cleanup during the renovation. I do not remember cleaning it up last year, and there were loads of rotting leaves among the new plants. It took me 6 days to clear the entire driveway. I lost track of how many wheelbarrow loads I cleared out. Naturally, I had plenty of help and supervision.
Today was a very changeable day, with periods of glorious sunshine alternating with cold, damp air and rain. It's interesting how differently I look at vines now after the workshops at Turlough with Andrew. I only got two vines done before the rain returned. Tomorrow, I'll get going full-time, but Alex is heading down to Aleria. C'est la vie.
