The third section of my yard is also along the side of the house and near the front entrance. It also includes the garden bed where my golden delicious apple tree lives. First up was to finish picking apples, which this year turned out to be quite a chore as this tree was loaded this year and I was thrilled! Another bumper crop of fruit from my very own trees!
Once the fruit was picked this tree was given a bit of pruning to remove oversized or damage limbs and bring it back in line. I cut out crowded and crossing branches and brought down the height a bit. I will be doing a bit more pruning in the spring as new growth arrives and I need to thin things out.
It will be a process, once again, to get all of the limbs and debris cleaned up and disposed of as it was for the pear tree when I did it a few weeks ago. In the meantime I piled all of it in the front yard near my trash bins and I will be working on it each week until it is eventually all gone.

He's a great helper!
I cleaned up underneath the sycamore tree and then used my leaf blower to give the lawn a good once over. The sycamore tree itself is going to be getting a good pruning this year. When the professionals come out to remove the maple tree they are also pruning this big girl.
This girl is getting a new hair do! 
It is a lot of work, but also very satisfying
I am nearing the finish line on this year’s Fall yard project list and I couldn’t be happier with all of the progress I have made so far. It may sound a bit weird, but I truly do enjoy this kind of stuff. My reward of course is to see it all completed.
