The stakes are rising in terms of hard labour, who would be a landscape gardener?, like breaking rocks but with a salary. I approached this with a calm determination, there is no other way when all you have is a spade and a chainsaw. This stump had been taunting me for 18 months and even when I had cut all the roots it would not budge. I ended up burrowing underneath it with 2 mules and a wagon. Tomorrow, a painting day, I fear it won’t be any easier.
