Lovely Charlotte and so clean and neat.

What beautiful beds! How do you keep the borders edged so perfectly and keep the grass from invading your beds?

They are beautiful Your garden is so neat and perfect. Sarah

wow! what gorgeous beds! if I was flying overhead, I'd stop to investigate. really nice job.

How do I keep the beds so neat? I use an edger once a week whether I think it needs it or not. By cutting down along the edge, it cuts any roots that are spreading underground.

Also once a week, I look over the entire bed and use a Japanese hoe to remove any weeds that have come up. It only takes me about 30 minutes for each job - sometimes less.

When I am out cutting flowers, deadheading, etc. I also pull any weeds that I see at that time. Once I got into this routine, the flowerbeds were no longer a problem to maintain. I've learned this is the only way I can keep up with the beds when I am working.

Hope this answers your question Oubliette. :-)

Yes, Charlotte. Thanks! Guess I'm going to pull out the old edger. Using it once a week whether it needs it or not sounds like the key.

Beautiful! I love Profusion zinnias. Any zinnias for that matter. Especially 'Chippendale Daisy' which I have right now. I hope "my" hummers are using it. I wasn't sure if zinnias were used by them.

Your pictures alone would convince me to buy an edger! LOL

Beautiful garden!
