The Towering Silver Maple: Now You See it, Now You Don't


We lost the tree 2 summers ago.  The other one (to the right) remains, though it was trimmed considerably.

The bad news:  the clean-up and cost.

The good news:
  • A revitalized, more colorful garden on the south side of the house (which required a lot of work but was ultimately very rewarding)
  • Enough sun for a very productive vegetable garden (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, onions, zucchini, various herbs)
  • Grass grows incredibly thick where we endlessly seeded. 
  • A new shed
  • Fewer fallen twigs, seeds, and leaves!  (Silver maples are very messy trees.)

But as you can clearly see, the change took some gettin' used to.
