Not a lot gone off today in my boring life , I had a visit from my mum this morning , then spent an hour or 2 in the garden pottering around while steve cut down some ivy thats overgrown onto next doors garage ,it looks tidier anyway .We have a big problem with a huge phormium we have in the front garden ,its grown so big we dont know how to trim it down ,im sure we could make 3 or 4 huge plants from it .its around 5 or 6 ft across and 10 to 12 feet tall.On top of that it gets huge black feathery flower stalks every year that are about 4 feet higher than the plant itself .Normally about 5 or 6 of those , very nice they are but too tall.

We really must chop it down or at least halve it .
