Lopsided Bush

Spring is here and so are the weeds.  Our yard is more of the English garden style - a bit more wild and free.  However, it is getting a little too wild - the largest bush in the yard had a lot of dead space in the middle and was starting to grow heavy on the outside and take over the porch.  The edge between the grass and the flower beds had all but disappeared, so little by little I'm starting to work on it between rain storms.  There is still a lot of work to do, but I pruned down the bush with a saw and took a shovel to the edge of the lawn while pulling some of the weeds along the way.  The only saw I had was a hack saw.  It took forever.  Buy a wood saw.
