An Unmanaged Hedgerow

Not on Blacka this time , but continuing the theme of managed against unmanaged. I find those things which have gone wild so much more interesting than those which are over managed.

I get the feeling that some people would shake their heads at this overgrown stretch of hedge regretting the lack of a firm hand. But what a glorious sight - all this may blossom reaching up amid holly and cow parsley.

One way of managing hedges these days is go along with the tractor and mash off the top stalks to the level you want it. Another of course is just to dig the whole lot out and use the reclaimed land for crops.
