trees there were on the property, as well as on the neighboring properties on either side.\u00a0 We&#8217;ve cut down 11 trees on our half acre over the past two years.\u00a0 Even after that, a lot of planning has gone into deciding where to grow our food, where to put the chicken coop and where to plant fruit trees based on the amount of sun different areas received.\u00a0 Of course, you know what happens when you make plans and then &#8211; worse &#8211; <em>act<\/em> on them.\u00a0 Yep, our neighbor to the west side just cut down all the trees lining the creek a couple of months ago!<\/p>\n<p>Now that those trees are down, that area will get full sun.\u00a0 It would be a great place for a bunch of dwarf fruit trees and\/or fruit and nut bushes &#8212; however &#8212; the chicken coop is already in place and it&#8217;s too late to move it.\u00a0 Oh well.\u00a0 And our neighbor to the east said his family is coming to cut down all those trees next weekend.\u00a0 So much for the shade garden on the eastern edge of our half acre!\u00a0 Just kidding, more sun is a really good thing!\u00a0 Now The Little Half Acre will get a whole lot more growing space from top to bottom.\u00a0 Yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The moment you make hard and fast decisions to do something a certain way, everything changes.\u00a0 All your decision making
