Roots rising to attention

You people are way too funny...but very helpful. I have decided that...my trees are not coming down...20 years is way too long for me also, The small glimpses of root popping up throughout the yard and beyond the drip lines I will gradually mulch and take care to decrease mower damage. Under drip line I will let the roots be what they will be. I will have five beautiful vine free shade loving flower gardens, drip line wide by this time next year. Will add a cobblestone path in some and occasional stepping stones in others. I have hired someone to come fertilize and take care of my ant problem. My trees, garden and yard will be beautiful, healthy and a joy for the rest of my life.
Thank you all...
Sandybottom.

Why thanks and it sure sounds great, remember us here and perhaps put up some pics of progress.

Before you declare victory (as if there was a competition

), keep in mind that many shade flowers are vines, like several on this list: Perennials for Shade

Many vines are tree-friendly; that was the point of the Lascivious Lianas piece, plus of course the moral of the story, that all dogma is useless--even when taught as 'SCIENCE" by approved authorities.

Garden happily under the big sky, sandybottom!

Here are some of my trees. I don't know if you can tell what they are from these. I suppose the people that come out to care for them will know. Anyway...these are my before beautification pics.
I will keep in contact. Absolutely love this tree world sight.
Again...thank you.

Very nice, room to breathe.

I like the old tractor there, looks good. I like things like that around, big old hoe, wagon wheel etc ... the modern garden has become some cross between a hedge and a bonzai to fit it in.

Plenty of room for mulch and some colour underplanting, few "farm bit" features be great.

Nice shots, nice place.
