Been there, done that. I try to use strategically placed trees to save
money.
I'm answering two posts in one here...

These trees (pine) were here we got here. We are pretty much surrounded
by trees on all sides but the back. The back is the pasture. The main
veggie patch is in a "cove" like curve along & into the tree line. It
was only subjected to the morning sun. The trees shaded out the
afternoon sun. I had two other "patches" elsewhere in the yard, mostly
all sun.

It can get tricky, planting stuff so it gets enough sun, but not too
much. Dad used to make the mistake of planting tomatoes in too much
shade, then wondering why they did not do well. G


Ps, I think WE got all your rain!

Yeah, I don't doubt that.

Looks like all the "good" rain is headed to the gulf. The locals (myself
included) would have loved the rain from TS Erin. Estimated to drop 30
inches...really would have loved that. Now it looks like Dean's gonna go
that way. Hopefully, Dean won't turn into another Katrina episode.

Now, don't get me wrong, I just want the rain, not the damage from high
winds, etc. Although the storms would make some nice pics too! LOL

Understood! At least it's not generating a LOT of tornadoes. I've only
heard of one so far. We had one here back in March or so (iirc) but they
don't get much past just West of IH-35. It was still less than 5 miles
from my house and I only missed driving into it's touchdown by about 5
minutes on the freeway.

Too close.
