September Begins with Cleaning Up

September began with my father and I cleaning & clearing the gigantic Black Willow that fell during tropical storm "Irene."
It was a slow start of limbing the smaller branches by hand with a humble tree saw, then hauling as much as possible with the tractor and trailer. It took about 12 trips but eventually most of the small stuff was removed so the big logs could be cut.

Luckily the gardens didn't suffer any major damage. Some of my yellow posts got pushed over by the giant tree, but that's it. The good news is that there will be much more sun shining on that garden since the huge tree is gone.
