Tree trimmer finished removing most branches obstructing full sunlight into my patch. It turns out I should get at least 8 hours of sunlight in 100% of my patch. My biggest barrier to success has been removed! Next year I can justify him coming back to remove more by saying I don't want any branches falling on the storage sheds and garage. A picture doesn't do justice to the area now getting full sunlight. They also cleaned up most of the twigs in my patch that I needed to rake up before putting down turkey compost and soil amendments. Once the amendments have been put down on the patch, then they will be roto tilled in by the neighbor for the price of a field pumpkin or watermelon in the fall.
