The awesome folks at Treephilly have organized a yard tree giveaway and I’ve started clearing the perfect space for it in my backyard garden. There’s a huge space that’s currently occupied by an Azalea bush. It’s pretty but it’s too big and I’m tired of it sending large branches through the chain-link fence.

Because of the orientation of our yard, a tree in this spot won’t diminish the sun available to the various raised beds. I’m trying, too, to have everything growing to be edible.
