This summer our main projects are erosion control of our steep hills and cutting down the many large and sick trees around the property.

On hot days like today when we're breaking down branches to eventually go into our mulcher, I have to remind myself how lucky we are to have so many garden projects to work on. The previous owners were unable to take care of the yards for their last several years at the property and many trees and plants took over the landscape. I'm learning many "what not to do" lessons including which plants and trees are invasive/destructive.

We'll be losing a lot of our shade this summer but hopefully this will enable us to do some heavy planting of new trees in the Fall for future years of enjoyment. This very diseased and leaning sumac is the first of many we will be saying goodbye to.
