    Cutting Hedge on December?

    Euonymus 'emerald n gold' might be a good idea at the base to thicken it up a bit - thanks for the suggestion @shiney ..... :dbgrtmb:

    Bumper crop of potatoes

    I never take much notice of those dates they give out, it's really just a guide. The longer you can keep a maincrop going the bigger the potatoes will be.

    With newspaper I get one entire section, and use garden secateurs to make small cuts across the folded side, spaced quite narrowly.
