We too started the winter prep of the garden. Trim back the grapevines and Blueberry bushhes. On top of that I had to drastically trim all of our trees who are getting too tall and would have soon reached the power lines. So much yard debris to get rid of. At least we could use the conifer tree trimmings to protect the flower beds and the bulbs for the winter.
Yes, my husband, Jeff, has spent a long time cutting down elm saplings and lilacs that have been shading our back yard, making it difficult to grew veggies or anything else. It's made quite a difference. At first, I feared a lack of privacy, but the other morning, I opened the drapes on the most gorgeous sunrise I'd seen in years. I can watch the sun rise now. Shade around a house is a good thing in Nevada, but when the parameter becomes a jungle, it's time to bring our the machete.
