Finally we have action on the garden! The tree guys came yesterday to start the project of removing two large oaks from my garden-to-be area. These puppies are probably 60+ feet tall, so it's no small task. They were able to fell one tree, with only one minor mishap. The first major branch fell onto a soft-top gazebo we have on our deck. Thankfully no one was hurt, and it really just dented one side of the frame. It's not really noticeable, and it still functions, so no harm done. To their credit, the tree guys did offer to pay for it, so I appreciate them doing the right thing.
Today's activities will include bringing down the other tree and to start getting the branches out of the way. We were advised to let the wood sit for a year before splitting, so it will just need to be off to the side. Thankfully we have plenty of room on our property to do that without interfering with the rest of the garden and backyard plans. Here's hoping today is successful!
