Are you being overrun with tree seedlings too?

@Gangstress mine seem to be all maple; I'm blaming the Canadians.

@stound lol can you send me some. I'd love a maple out the front

@Gangstress you sure? They are pretty messy trees.

@stound as long as you keep taming it. Were fine. Leave it alone then you've got problems

@Gangstress I dunno how youd keep it tamed down for all the leaves and helicopters twice a year.

@stound clearing and sweeping. Branch cutting. You gotta be ruthless. And need a decent hand saw. Its completely doable

@Gangstress I guess none of my neighbors have ever even tried

@Gangstress every year, and I find peanuts in the shell buried in flower pots too.

@stound yeh I figured. It's like the apple tree. Itll take over your garden until you cut what ya need off for the size you want it

@Gangstress one neighbor told me to keep an apple tree I should prune it back till I thought I'd kill it. then a little more
