Day 32: I found a hedge!

I have been wanting a hedge between myself and my trashy neighbours but hedges take so long to grow, I'm still researching varieties because I need it to grow to 2 meters in about a week. But today as I was driving past the house down the road that has a hedge that I admire with envy every time I drive past it I saw there was no hedge, the hedge was gone, well not completely it was lying all over the front yard. I didn't even stop to ponder what kind of idiot pulls out such a stunning hedge I just bolted to their front door to enquire about their intentions for the hedge. Nine car trips later I have most of their hedge lying all over my backyard...happy dance, happy dance!

It has occurred to me that maybe I'm more of a Ute kind of woman and I should take that into account next time I buy a car. Only because I'm growing weary of those conversation with men that go "do you have a Ute to get that home in?" "no". "Do you have a trailer?" "no". "Do you have someone (obviously someone implies a male someone) that can help you?" "no I'll just shove it in the car somewhere, it'll be fine". "It won't fit in a car!" "Sure it well, everything fits in my car just watch me".

So now I have acquired a hedge the next issue is how do I plant it and keep it alive? I priced hiring a machine to dig a trench, then I went and purchased a pissy little shovel. The ground, it turns out, is like concrete, of course. Yay, go me and my little shovel, I only need to dig a trench about 50cm x 50cm x10m, tomorrow.
