A hassle-free vegetable garden next to trees.

I didn't know the grandmother of unnecessary troubles but I bought myself a piglet so I learned one old but very wise proverb about people who can overestimate their own strengths and instead of improving the quality of life when you can both work and rest you as a rule only work.

Something like this can happen if I make the wrong decision when choosing trees to plant around the perimeter of my land plot where I plan to do gardening and horticulture and the plot is not very large only 0.12 hectares.

Yes, you also need to consider that almost half of the plot is already occupied by the built foundation and the first floor of our future house and technical structures such as a barn garage summer kitchen or summer house are planned on the plot a barbecue area and paths on the plot will also take away land from my garden.

I'm glad that I have time to think and play this chess game thinking about where and what kind of tree can be planted so that it does not subsequently take up more territory than it is supposed to.

Otherwise if I make a mistake it can become a big problem like for example the neighbor's cherry tree which has taken over part of my land and is very difficult to uproot.

I definitely will not plant a pine tree like the one in this photo closer than a kilometer from my plot lol.

Also I won't plant a row of shrubs next to my garden and one of them is jasmine which spreads many young shoots from its root system although I like jasmine tea I have already had an unpleasant experience with it I still have a long time to fight it.

It is exactly like a game of chess because if I am not careful enough nature will eat my queen and take over my land.
