Welcome to the jungle

The mission listing said that Ms L's garden was a jungle and they weren't exaggerating! When Samuel and I were shown to the back garden, I was amazed at how overgrown it had become. Trees and brambles covered every patch of the space, so our job was to chop some of them back to uncover part of the patio. We got to work quickly and within 20 minutes, we had chopped down loads of branches and brambles with ease. The hardest part would be next - to bag them up! Ms L did not have a garden waste bin so we then had the challenge to chop up all the cuttings to get them in bin bags. There were a few hazards too - not only the thorns and brambles, but also a family of quite large spiders. By the end of the hour, we had cleared six bags of branches and created a space where Ms L could enjoy her patio again. The clearance was also appreciated by her cat, who came to explore the new open area!
