no grass was harmed.....

20 years ago

In the making of this bed!

I was all set to move my bleeding heart back deeper into the bed when I had an epiphany. Why move the plant when I can just move the bed. So I did and it was easy since the grass was essentially dead or very sparse. I just scooped off the top soil, removed the gravel below and refilled with compost mixed with the old soil. This poor bleeding heart was too near the edge of the bed so my DH was always bashing into it with the lawn mower. I've pulled the bed forward about a foot, so that should help somewhat. I can see why the grass was struggling, there was basically about 2 inches of soil under it, then gravel. What makes me angry is that I had paid a landscaper to put in that sod when we had our paving stones put in.

Anyway, it wouldn't be spring if I wasn't making flower beds larger!
