There is a large gangly tree in the near center of my backyard that is shading my garden and making it hard to expand my garden as it takes all of the sun. As there are trees that go almost all the way around the perimeter of the yard, I need to put my garden in the north east corner, so this tree has got to go.


So photo 1 above is the picture of the tree from the deck in the back yard, you can see the gangliness of it by the trunk that has three large arms.


Photo 2 is the same tree, now from the lawn on the south east side of the back yard facing the north east side. Those white containers you can see are part of my garden. Clearly in this photo you can see that removing the tree will allow that part of the yard to get plenty of sun.


Photo 3 is a picture of the container garden on the left side and the tomato garden behind the garage. If the tree was removed almost all of the grass you see in this photo would eventually be turned into vegetable garden.

Debstar once posted photos on her blog of trees on her property or in her neighbourhood. Here I wanted to show a few of the trees in my backyard that are on the perimeter that put shade into the yard at all of the different times of day.
