We, too, had to take down the fort and the tree and replaced them with a vegetable garden. In fact, I wrote about it in an article in the last issue of FamilyFun (May, 2011). After the garden went in, we started a neighborhood pumpkin growing contest. So all is not lost! I wish you luck with your garden. Ours has been absolutely fantastic. Now I'm busy chopping and canning and freezing all summer :)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16562989307286675615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901164543050278523.post-35820418197896685042011-06-08T19:19:53.594-07:002011-06-08T19:19:53.594-07:00Brings back memories of the tree house my brothers...Brings back memories of the tree house my brothers and I had when we were growing up. The tree that supported it is long since gone, victim to some beetle or other pest, I'm sure. ;)anitamombanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03705021153044549156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901164543050278523.post-10365742371525861012011-06-08T05:51:55.907-07:002011-06-08T05:51:55.907-07:00best. treehouse. ever. & just so you know it w...best. treehouse. ever. & just so you know it was not a nail that the did the damage but a GIGANTIC sliver along with 4-5 subsequent slivers. not. cool.the hillshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10867772660608375224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7901164543050278523.post-3267053539737855872011-06-08T05:18:10.523-07:002011-06-08T05:18:10.523-07:00I have to agree with Michael!
