But then, what did you expect?
These shots are of the Barton p-patch in progress as of less than an hour ago. The sod has been scraped off (yawn!!!) where the pathways separating the beds will be.
The longest path running diagonally down the center will be ADA accessible.
The bulldozers made a ring around Big Bircha. She looks naked now (Huh!?) except for a skimpy grass skirt the dozers left around her waist. (Oh.)
You can still ogle her shimmying in the breeze, but you’re not allowed to touch or even get within four feet of her, or you’ll be in violation of Seattle’s decency statutes.
I Photoshopped and Photoshopped, but it didn’t make any difference. Really sorry about this, y’all. I just don’t know what else to say.
OK, let’s call it an eight-foot protection zone. I’m terrible with eyeball guesstimates.
As we know, some people didn’t want to keep the tree in the first place, because they felt it would shade too much of the arable space. So the pro- and anti-tree factions got together and worked out a compromise, which was to keep a grass perimeter around the tree. If the tree still perishes from root compaction, etc. the pro-tree folks will have the satisfaction of having tried.
And the anti-tree folks? They’ll be exuding tea and sympathy.
