I always have dreams of having beautiful landscaping and flower beds. Finally I have to be honest and face the fact that I cannot/do not keep them weeded. We have heavy clay soil so digging the beds up with a shovel is impossible. G borrowed a back hoe from our neighbor. He used it to dig out perennials and weeds that had completely covered them. Next year I hope to have the area covered with mulch with just a few colorful shrubs.
