Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: my yard and your tied eyes, 1 by momlady

Hi Weerobin.

We have 5 acres. It's about 60% or 70% wooded. We are out in the boonies, definitely! There have been so many planting opportunities that I have created more garden areas than I can maintain. It's a good problem but still a problem, nonetheless. This year I am foregoing the vegetable garden because I know I won't have time to maintain it. Sniff. :-(

The back of the property is mostly native plants, with a few invasives that sneaked in. Besides the woodlot, there is only one tree in the back area that I know of that was planted by a human, and that was before we moved here. The rest is au naturel with a few modifications (in some areas we picked up fallen trees/branches, etc., and we did a little limbing up).
