With Swedish as my mother tongue I wonder about the English word "Privet" for the hedge plant we call "liguster" (Ligustrum Vulgare) over here. Does it have to do with Privacy??
Anyway, a few days ago it was high time to plant this Privet hedge as a first step in trying to create a room within my rather exposed garden. I am a complete novice at this (having only had a garden at Sandhamn before - the island known for all its fine sand and pine trees!!) so my long time friend Paivi came over from the mainland to help me out.
Here she is working and digging
and it all looks very professional!

This is the view from my bedroom during the planting process. From here you can clearly see the need to create a secluded room within my garden!! This is a great first step!
In the process, I tried to get as much information as possible from the Privet knowledge bank on the internet and found -Inspirera - a great gardening blog (unfortunately in Swedish only) but with a number of inspirational photos on how to make all kinds of developments in your garden! The picture above is from that blog. These are planted by a professional gardener, the blog says. Mine is not far off, however!
