The far opposite from the Veg area in the garden proper we have a lovely patio with a fire pit. It has been a problem area since our purchase.
First, the firepit needs to be modified and built up so that it is not just a hole in the ground.
Most importantly the five trees lining this area are what I refer to as "scrub" pines. The look mangy and dry.
Another negative is that they drop their long needles constantly. Trying to keep a garden area underneath looking tidy and pleasant is simply a chore.
They were planted by the previous owners who wished for a quick growing barrier between the neighbors line of sight into this part of the garden but I'd rather live with some exposure for a few years than continue with this status.
Sooooo......
This is how the area looks now. The five offending pine trees have been removed and we will be making landscaping choices over the next few days. There are some lovely large stones in the area and I'm sure we will have no problem developing a scheme that is productive, welcoming and makes one wish to spend time here during the wonderful days of summer and autumn.
