I've been talking about felling the apricot tree for some time. This weekend was our neighborhood clean up, with big dumpsters on every street. I woke up this morning after camping out in the backyard and pondered what I might do. I soon heard the sounds of the dumpsters being picked up....So after some consideration of whether to get a tree chipper or to just cut the tree down and toss it to the dumpster; the economics of the situation won out and down came the tree.
Why did I fell the tree. Simple I only like apricot nectar, and the tree is a attractant for earwigs. So goodbye with no farewell to the tree who's fruit can not be given away.
I also needed to fell the tree to get more light to garden bed 6. Garden bed 6 has had much suffering due to it being trapped in a dark shaded tunnel created by the apricot tree and my neighbors maple tree. Even with the apricot tree felled I think Bed 6 is going to continue having problems.
In other news I continue to have issues with ants. The ants have now eaten 5 of my black krim tomatoes. I may have to get professional on this ant issue.
