Another Week, Another Project!

Here you go.....

This week's problem, umm, I mean project.

When we purchased Pine Cone Lane, I inherited lots of great flora from the gardener that lived here before us, but I also inherited this nightmare of a flower bed! It is about 40 ft. long and ranges from 6-8 ft. wide, and it has been the bane of my existence since we moved in!

I'm pretty sure I wrote about this monstrosity last year at which time I boasted of adding perennials to the bed, doing some quick weeding, and having the whole thing under control in no time. Ha! Pride goeth before a fall.

I did add some perennials and they have come back this year if you can find them beneath the OUT OF CONTROL weeds and briars. When I say briars, I mean the kind that rendered Sleeping Beauty's castle unapproachable!!

This flower bed and how to defeat it, kept me up at night!! At one time I decided that I should just douse it with Round Up, till it under, cover it with black plastic, and send for a priest to exorcise it.

But remember when God said He would spare Sodom or Gomorrah it there was even one good man in the city? Well, in the end, I treated this bed the same way. Here are the 'residents that saved the city' so to speak...

Then the solution came to me!!!!

Until tomorrow,

Shelli
