5 hours of clearing produces a surprisingly-still-overgrown area :-(
 


But you can see the snowdrops a bit better now .



Heap on the left: compressed brambles vines wound up into bundles. Heap on the right: dogwood, huge overgrown roses, hazel. In the green trug, weeds ivy and grass.  In the big white bucket, a HUUGE mound of bramble roots. 



Dogwood twig in the foreground - daffodils trying to get through the mass of roots.
