The giant tree sits on the neighbors lot just on the other side of the property line between us. The ground between the tree and the drive is on our side for the most part. High weeds dominated this area until I took the weed whacker to them.
The problem is to water and pay regular attention to this area.
I envision a decorative planting here after getting rid of the weeds and stuff. This patch of ground at the base of this ancient tree has potential in my eyes.
This is the most neglected spot in our yard. For the time being I am decided to get after this with loping shears and shrub rake to start cultivating something swell.
It's kind of like the ugly duckling if you know what I mean. Something small that's actually great.
