I'm really going to do it this year!

We've lived here since the late 90s and I've really been a 'caretaker' for the plants left by previous owners. Many of them, I would never have chosen myself. The trouble is, I can't bring myself to do for them when they are in leaf or flower. I have decided that it will be easier to be ruthless with a bunch of sticks in the winter. I've put it in writing so now I'll have to do it!
In London. Keen but lazy.

    I know what you mean Verdun but there's two acubas! Also a Bush with fuzzy pink flowers that is in bloom for a fortnight and looks awful after that. Then there's a berberis in the wrong place. I am not after a blank canvas. I will leave some shrubs and small trees for structure -some of which I planted myself! I just don't want to work around the ones I don't like

    Put an 'Offered' advert on your local Freecycle / Freegle website and you might find someone who would like them and is willing to come and dig them out too. You won't feel bad about getting rid of them then and someone else will get some free plants.

    Very exciting for you.

    Can we have a series of before / during, and after photos?

    We're a nosey bunch here.
