Dear sweet forum friends, thank you for your moral support. I appreciate that greatly. Let's just stay by the slightly comic fact that I am trying to build a live fence to keep certain people out and that will keep other people ie me in my garden.
By the way, blackthorn is used in Germany to keep wild boars out... perhaps that mental picture says more about the situation then words can...
Roses are already waiting to be put in, and the blackthorns are ordered and should arrive next week. I keep you posted.
Two weeks ago we managed to finish planting the blackthorns and the roses. Now we have to wait and see. My fiancee managed to build a coarse trellis behind the plants that looks horrible at the moment. I keep you all updated on the progress.
The rather special neighbours have already enquired what I planted (I never said that intelligence was part of their daily life) and I kept quiet, mumbled something like an interesting shrub or so....
