That patch is epic!! I live east of you, Anderson area. I was over around your neck of the woods a few weeks back. Bought a car from Pearson Ford.

I'll have to plant my Basjoo out in the backyard. My front yard is covered by silver maples unfortunately. Debating on whether to cut them down of leave them for the next owner. Yes, I plan on moving....eventually. But my backyard is slopped towards my field as I call it. So, planting in a place that doesn't collect water won't be an issue. I was thinking of planting in a raised bed area. The soil here likes to compact pretty bad, so after find the spot I plan on amending the soil with a good deal of compost and what ever else might help the area.

I have a big silver maple out back as well, but plan on having that either topped of cut completely. (Why people planted trees with such invasive root systems so close to the house baffles me.)

I'll have to snap a pic of that house down the road that grows all that. The house starts to fade away in the heart of summer with everything planted around.

I have thought about either buying a greenhouse or building one. I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons though. Figuring out what to grow in it and when. Also what to do for a heat source etc.
