It's a good time of year to have a discussion like this!
Fingers are really beginning to itch, and with some fabulous warm days in a month normally associated with snow and grime, it's not surprising that any sign of growth is so welcome.
And it's a month of 'lists' as I've got a small day-op tomorrow, which will mean I can't hold anything like a fork for a month, so my list has been: -
1) Take down to reasonable level a Pyracantha hedge.
2) Visit casualty with eighty-five stab wounds.
3) Try and 'munch' the Pyracantha in a shredder.
4) Revisit casualty with four-hundred stab wounds and terminal earache.
5) Prune Wistaria.
6) Try and alleviate muscle problems from heavy ladder.
7) Pick ladder up and try to place against wall - repeat eight times.

Revisit casualty with hurt shoulder.
9) Ask neighbour nicely not to talk to me when I'm 560 ft up a ladder.
10) Visit police station to explain why neighbour has secateurs embedded in head.
11) Rake up Wistaria prunings and sections of neighbour's shoulder-blade.
12) Mow grass outside 'The Turrets'.
13) Remove fag packets and sandwich wrappings from mower blades.
14) Remove fist from moron's face - the sort which chucks rubbish out of car while driving with a mobile in one hand.
15) Pour a relaxing beer and chat with Mrs Growster while the wounds heal...
...And that was just in the last few days...
As for 'New veg, old problems', well...
