Job done!

The Gardener has worked on removing all the vegetation from the offending piece of fence, and it's now free and ready for removal.

That fern hasn't seen the light of day for a long time.

Now a decision has to be made. Remove and replace the fence, or leave it open? The orchard is on the other side.

If the fence is not replaced, the gate will be lost, and the enclosed nature of the orchard as well. Not sure yet.
