I am trying to convince my husband that we need to get rid of this spruce tree in front of our house. What is the point of a big beautiful bay window if you look out right at this? I think the view of a garden from inside a house is just as important, if not more important, than outside. It used to be even worse before I limbed up the branches a bit.
Not to mention there's already 4 other giant spruce trees sucking all the water and nutrients out of the soil and shading the garden by the front steps. It is very challenging to grow stuff here. Also not to mention the horrible red shale mulch that I am still trying to remove from my property 4 years after moving in. Curse the person who put down red shale!
I want to have this taken out in spring, so that I don't have to worry about the existing garden getting smushed when the tree falls. It's not going to be cheap, but it needs to be done. If I can't convince my husband, I may just book it anyway and surprise him... I wonder if he'd be mad...
Hopefully he's not reading this blog....LOL

Ha ha! I thought of that too. I am almost positive he's not going to get around to it...!
