I was anxious to get up this morning and head outdoors to work in
the flower beds as all three are now weed-free. A big thank you to Tony for
graciously digging out the fast-growing Creeping Charlie. The purple Irises are
in full bloom. The climbing rose bush is completely leafed out and loaded with
healthy-looking buds. I am excited to see a flower bed full of color when the
Peonies open, hopefully, in time for Memorial Day Weekend.
I am determined not to let the weeds take over this year like they
did last year. After lengthy and numerous conversations with self-proclaimed
experts, I decided to lay down newspaper covered with rich dark black potting
soil in the hopes of smothering the weeds and enriching the soil. One bed is three
fourth done and looks prettier. After underestimating the number of bags of
potting soil needed to cover all three beds, I headed back to the store to
purchase 15 more bags of potting soil. With fingers crossed, I hope that to control
the Creeping Charlie.
You've provided quite good information here about above ground garden planters.. This is fantastic since it expands our knowledge and is also beneficial to us. Thank you for sharing this piece of writing.
