Clipping Box Balls (most boring job ever)

Clipping Box Balls, their is no way that I can make this interesting. At this property there are about 150 of the dam things. I have to clip them twice a year and today was the first cut for about half of them.

Here are some of the Box balls, its Japanese Box, fascinating aren't they.

The First box to be clipped 7.15 am

( Wow, look at that, taking photo and clipping at same time)

This hole happened because I cut the box to late in the season last year and the weight of the water/rain, had rested on the box and stretched it basically.

Back aching now !
