Wordy Wise

HEDGEVOW — pledged to plant a hedge down the side of our long garden.

HEDGEGROW — coming on well, neighbours watching closely.

HEDGELOW — here’s hoping it will shield us from them.

HEDGENOW — height has developed nicely.

HEDGEWOW — a splendid achievement, we can’t believe how well it’s done.

HEDGEBOW — a friend says take a bow, great job!

HEDGECROW — a bird even crows about it!
